Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I sure as hell had to have my teeth pulled. RO said if zi didn't , the rads and chemo I had to have for tongue implants would make my tetth decay and then rot and cause infection. No choice, but I sure as hell miss eating. I did get good news from my Ins. They finally paid the 2,000 to the Oral Surgeon for pulling them. Now if I can get them to buy me new ones.
