Chrissy, Im very sorry to read about your ongoing problems. I have not experienced sleep apena so Im very sorry but I do not have any ideas for you. From what you posted, your sleep specialist has had at least one other OC patient so it seems that they must be similar to you in having the sleep apena after their treatments.

I wanted to make sure you are very, very careful with having surgeries after going thru rads. Patients who have had rads will have very slow healing in areas around where their cancer was located and radiated. This can turn into a big problem!!! If you start thinking of having the surgery, make sure you get a second opinion at a different facility. You will also need to make certain your surgeon is familiar with how different an OC patient is and how they must be treated differently than other patients. If your surgeon is not well versed in treating OC patients, you do not want them to do your surgery. You may even need to do hyperbaric oxygen treatments (HBO) before having this type of surgery. This is why its so important anyone who would be doing your surgery has experience with OC patients.

Best wishes with everything!!!
