Thank you Cheryld! It's not red and his teeth are perfect (hope they stay that way!). The best way I can describe it is a large, flat blister -- about 1-inch long by half inch high. It's been there from and since the radiation. Talked with dentist yesterday. He has recommended we go to an oral surgeon if no sign of improvement in 10 days. I'm just praying for no further intervention. I know Jerry is getting so depressed.

Remind me where I get the manuka? I was thinking that it was a prescription that our doctor was resistant to during treatment but now almost six weeks out perhaps it's ok? But then again, I believe what little memory power I had before all of this, well, pretty much gone now. So any prompts and reminders are always appreciated! Thanks again!
