You didn't say where you are being treated. Is it a CCC center? I tend to doubt it if they are recommending pulling perfectly healthy teeth because of radiation. They don't usualyy dothat anymore. I'd recommend going to get a second opinion or better yet treatment at a CCC center, but defintely get a second opinion on pulling those teeth.
Take care,
Eileen
