Thanks for the suggestions mawalton!!! Our problem is that all his teeth were pulled before radiation. He got radiation poison anyway and still has exposed jaw bones. Eight weeks of hyperbaric oxygen treatment and still no success. He can not have anything done about the narrow opening other than surgery and then there would be no healing. Tomorrow he has a small tumor removed from his tongue and we are praying that this will heal. Will try and let everyone know.


Husband with SCC at the back of tongue. 7 weeks radiation and 1 cycle of chemo completed 09/2003
