Please do not give up trying. Call all the local TV stations; call all the local newspapers; call your favorite radio stations and just tell them in a sincere, not angry voice what you are up against and that without the dental work, no radiation and without the radiation you will die. I'll bet you at least one of these will pick this and run with it and I wouldn't be surprised if some dentist will offer their services for free.
I forget but have you tried any local dental schools?
PLEASE DON"T GIVE UP!!!
