Hi Anita, I had pieces of bone coming out of
my gums...had to be the cancer spread to my jaw...
it hadn't.
I had horrible headaches and couldn't move my
jaw very well...the cancer must have spread to my brain...it hadn't.
If I don't constantly sip water, my throat will
get dry and sore. Sometimes I will lose my voice.
If I still don't drink, my throat and mouth will
get cracked and start to bleed. No cancer, just
a side effect from radiation.
I made up my mind to not dwell on reoccurance
(I still get my monthly checkups though).
I look for ways to adapt to the side effects,
and just enjoy life. O-O
