I had to have mine removed because of the Rad Seed Implants and the rads and chemo. They hit it right on because my jaw bone is dead as they said it would be. The teeth would have decayed causing infections from the dead bone. Now I am glad I listened to them.

Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
