Hello to all - I have not been an active poster but feel the need to get more involved. I am post surgery/radiation by almost 4 years. I am at the stage where we have extracted multiple/selected teeth, and I just had six implants placed...I too am sick and tired of not a year going by without some surgery or another. Post radiation my collar bone broke, which required surgery to remove a portion of that, then they realized that my jaw bone was broken too (not going to fix that) we were lucky in catching my cancer "early" but after my implants I went back today for post op to find out that the bone wasn't "the greatest" and we will have to see - I go back in 4 months to get the top of the implants "placed" - now I cannot open my mouth again, like it was after my radiation initially, so very limited - oh well, still alive I guess - one day I would love to bite into food instead of eating every thing little by little with a small size fork lol

to everyone out there experiencing this - I have not gone through as much as many of you but I pray for you all...

does anyone out there know, and please pardon my ignorance, if since my cancer was caused by HPV, even though I am "cancer free", if I should be letting my husband/grandson drink after me? what about kissing my husband?
