I just got back from a 2 week vacation, caught up on your posts and although I really would not have been able to comment about your radiation, chemo etc. I would have told you to go back to the surgeon that removed your wisdom teeth. It sounds like you had a minor dry socket, but it appears to have healed as your pain has gone away. It may possibly come back, so keep that in mind.
As far as the fillings are concerned, either silver or white composite will be fine.
Good luck on the 10th.
