Hi Shelley,
How frustrating! I'm sorry you and Ron are going through this stuff.

J saw a dental oncologist right after he met his RO. The dental oncologist was going to be his dental care provider all the way through treatment and beyond. J thought she was good and so do I.

There is a big difference between DO's and regular dentists. They understand and can finely tune what is required pre-treatment, during treatment and post-treatment. Having a good DO can save a patient from going through preparation overkill such as unnecessary tooth extractions.

Ron's oncologist at UCLA can probably refer him to a good DO in your area so you don't have to worry about it in the future. But, I'll give you the number of J's if you want it. She's in Torrance.

I'll be keeping you and Ron in my thoughts and prayers!

Sandy
