Thank you everybody for your kind responses. I haven't felt this normal for over a year. I feel like I can finally breathe. I'm sure my mom is pretty relieved with all the good reports but she still feels only about 70%. Now to battle this infection....

My mom just switched over to the Cipro and she will see her Chemo doctor today to get some blood tests done. She says that her mouth still hurts which we are sure is related to the infection in the bone. Both her dentist and ENT are closely monitoring her infection to make sure it starts to heal up. If it doesn't heal up her ENT will explore other options as he wants to rule out that it is not cancer that is causing the infection. So we are waiting for the infection to heal and then we will probably look into the HBO treatments because from what I've read they will help a great deal with the way her mouth feels. Out of everything her biggest complaint is the way her mouth feels so completely different than it used to and the pain hasn't helped. She still has to take pain medication orally when it starts to hurt and she is no wimp when it comes to pain. She gave birth to my little brother with absolutely no pain medication and when I tried to go that route once those contractions started coming I was begging for the epidural. So I know that her pain is pretty intense.
Has anybody else experienced this infection in the bone and was it extremely painful? When her ENT ran all the tests for clean margins after her second surgery (which he got all clean margins) he also sent the bone samples out to be tested and they were clean (no cancer). I'm just a little concerned because of the what if's that the ENT and dentist are throwing out there.....

If anybody has any input as always it is greatly appreciated!
