About the gums. Well while I was going thru radiation I was so sure that the bones in my guns were showing through as well. I could feel them touching my lips. My dentist said that my gums had always looked like that and I'm only noticing it now because I'm on alert and I'm always looking at them. I showed my gums to my sis at the time and she freaked out as well. However the dentist was right. My gums had always looked like that and I've only just noticed it cos I'm looking.
Hoping you get some answers soon.
