Thanks, Christine and Jim.
I have a dental cleaning in May, so I will bring it up at my cleaning. My hygenist seems very familiar with radiation patients--but not hypocalcemic patients. I am probably the only hypocalcemic patient they will ever see. I see my oncologist in two weeks, so I will tell him about the swollen lymph nodes, too.
Left tonsil SCC, HPV+. T2N0M0. Tonsillectomy 3-07, bilateral radiation, cisplatin 3x, Tx completed 6-06. Clear PET 4-01-2008. Thyroidectomy 5-9-08, resulting in permanent surgically-induced hypoparathyroidism and adrenal problems. Bummer. |
