First of all welcome and congratulations on your 5 years of being a survivor. You sound like you've been through the same experiences as many of the members.
The loss of your teeth is certainly a difficult thing to go through, but you've been through difficult things already. I hope that you will be able to get implants done as they will be able to give you results that will be similar to natural teeth. What are the plans for your replacements?
Many members have had a great deal of success getting implants and I'm sure that they will share their knowledge and experiences with you.
Good luck and I hope you can get back to work soon.
Jerry
