After one week of IMRT centered around my tongue and neck, I had felt blessed with no side effects, yet. That was until last night before bed my lower gums in front started to bleed after gentle brushing. Now that I think about it, the skin just below my upper lip is already showing some redness.

Am I being hypersensitive or should I plan on loosing my lower front teeth as a result of the radiation? The mind plays tricks, sometimes.

I know it's a little thing, but y'all are the only ones I can ask and get an intelligent, unbiased reply.
