Michael,
My Therabite just came in the mail today. My oncologist at MDACC gave me a prescription and I got the insurance company to pay for most of it. Now that I have received it, however, it says to have your "clinician" show you how to use it properly. My dentist has never heard of it and I am certain that the oncologist does not know much about the device either.
Who would be familiar with this...the speech pathologists at MD Anderson, or the dentists there? Or is it simple enough to watch the included video and do it yourself?
If any of you know ( like you Brian ) please help. By the way, I wish that someone had told me to get it 3 years ago when I was first diagnosed rather than now, when the jaw has probably gotten pretty stiff.

Thanks,
Danny G.
