Jon,

I have been following your situation and you have received excellent advice from everyone on the forum. I believe I read where you needed to have some teeth removed. If so, this needs to be done BEFORE the radiation begins so that your mouth has time to heal. I was in that situation and had to delay my treatment for about 2 to 3 weeks. I wish you the best.
