The 17th of Jan, they took all of my teeth because of the Rad implants. Rads will decay the teeth and cause an infection, which u surly don't want. I had 2 infctions and belive me, they are miserable. Had to have both drained. 1 more week of rads and chemo the a coupks of days off . Then the implants will be put in. I wish you all the luck in the world. Keep a stiff upper lip and listen to what you are told,.
