Bill: We can relate to your frustration...Buzz just lost one of his 'caps' from one of the FEW jaw teeth (on the opposite side from his surgery) he has left to chew his food...getting it fixed tomorrow morning...but, I wonder if this is going to be an ongoing problem because of the IMRT and chemo...we'll wait and see.
Keep us posted. We DO care!
