Thanks Everyone...ok so you think I should take the risks and have the radio...I do want to live...i am just really scared of having NO taste or NO saliva after treatment (the hair thing really doesnt bother me..I wear hats and scarves anyway and vanity and death arent related here to me. Also, the temp stuff doesnt bothe me either...its really only the permanent things. One thing..,my teeth..they are good now (well they are straight and white and the ones I had to lose were at the back on one side so i can live with that...but...how does it effect them even if they are strong?...and does it always? thanks again...and by the way i will get the hang of starting my new posts haha I can see what you mean..thanks for the tips! you are all so great
love from Lyn smile
