Hi Patty! Sorry you are still struggling with after effects. It happens to alot of patients. I know it can be difficult to handle always being one more thing to get fixed or hurting. On a good note, you are very lucky to be here and have those annoyances. Has your doctor done the Marx protocol for extracting teeth post radiation? Thats 20 hyprebaric oxygen treatments before and 10 after the procedure? Not all dentists/oral surgeons are familiar with treating oral cancer post radiated patients and can skip this important step. that can cause HUGE issues down the road.

Sorry but Im unsure about how easily HPV can be spread. Ive read conflicting info about how easily it transmits between people.

I wish yo all the best with your ongoing problems. Hope you will feel better soon!

Be well!!!
