Chris, you made the right decision. My first RO told me I'd lose all my teeth and painted a horror story. I dropped him for his lack of bedside manners - he was laying this on me the day after my surgery. Two years out from tx and no issues with teeth.

Bill . . . SCC - originated in right tonsil, drifted into neck ( 28 lymph nodes removed - one positive ). Radical neck dissection in September 07, completed 34 radiation tx on January 4, 2008. Used Peg. Non smoker, 61, good shape, no previous health issues. Second year PET scan - "all clear".
