Thank you everyone.
They did not say they were taking all my teeth, however there are many of them that will have to be pulled because they are bad. I wonder if they will give me dentures or something after they are pulled. I just can't believe how much this has already changed my life. I am trying to get into the fight mode. Maybe I am just feeling too sorry for myself. I will try harder. I will have the radiation because I do not want to go through something like this ever again. It just so tough because I didnt know it would change my life so much already. But hopefully my talking will come back more and my stupid neck will heal faster. I am getting the staples out Friday..getting set up with a dentist and then a few weeks after that begining my treatment. 5 days a week for 7 weeks frown but you are all right..at least I will be alive and here for my kids. That is the most important thing. I will try harder I promise!
