Thanks, Christine.

I guess I was just wondering if it could possibly be a sign of a bad tooth(or worse). My PCP didn't seem concerned at all, but I don't think he was thinking about my cancer treatment, and I didn't bring it up.
I also have hypoparathyroidism---I don't have the ability to process calcium properly(thank you, thyroidectomy), so I wonder what effects that will have on my jawbone long-term. Curious as to whether that could weaken the bone or make it more susceptible to infection.

Seems like everytime I have a health issue, diagnosis is delayed, or just plain misdiagnosed.

The swelling is down, snd there is only an intermittent dull ache. Guess I'll just go about my business!
