Well done for getting to the end of treatment, especially with your humour intact. I found the last week of rads really dragged. But you get there in the end and then it is a slow haul to recovery, which requires some patience, especially with the teeth/gums! I suspect you will be right about avoiding back dentures. And yes I still have my old smile.
I look forward to hearing how you progress. Sally.
