your story is very inspirational.
I was wondering about the osteoradionecrosis.
Do you think there is ANY thing I can do now prophylacticly (sp?) to help save my bones (or anything else for that matter) since most likely I will be having the lifetime max starting in about 3 weeks.
Also, maybe I could start now with the rinse and any suppliments which might help stave off side-effects.
Thanks!
