Hopefully your husband has something unrelated to OC or his treatments/recovery. Please let us know how he makes out.
PS... @Kristen... Several members over the years have been told by their dental professional/specialist/ prostheodontist/ dental oncologist to continue using the fluoride trays for life. After having rads for OC, patients/survivors MUST pay close attention to their dental care. This includes brushing and flossing after every meal and snack along with using the dental trays. Im sorry but I just cant remember all the details of the dental trays as patients/survivors are years out from finishing their rads. It just seems like its something that can be cut back on after a few years but only after consulting with your dental professional. If someone is say 3 years post rads, is still using the trays I would think they should continue to do whatever has been working for them. My teeth werent great going into OC and they really took the brunt of rads. At 2 years post rads, my teeth were so loose and crooked I was scared they would just fall out while I was trying to eat or talk. I thought Id get dentures but instead I ended up getting OC again and there went my plan of having a perfect smile with beautiful white little teeth. No complaints!!!! Im still thankful for every single day no matter what daily inconveniences I live with.
