I'm almost 11 years out of treatment and now......after THOUSANDS of dollars spent on root canals, crowns and filling, they have decided we need a new plan. They are going to pull them all. I've done 20 HBO dives and after the extraction will have 10 more to do. The part that kills me is not being allowed any dentures for 6 weeks. I have some of the best Drs on the west coast working with me so I am hoping it goes well. I swear by the HBO. Thanks for listening 
DX 6/05 Rt Tonsil SSC advanced to lymph node. Stage 4b. RND, took tonsils, strips off the back of tongue, throat and nose. 19 lymph nodes removed only 1 bad. Once healed, 7 weeks of treatment including 35 IMRT, 7 Cisplatin, 7 Erbitux and 35 nasty Amophostine. Almost 11 yrs out now. Woooo Hoooo!
