Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I have no i dea what I HAVE but i posted on the general forum. The Dr sees bone in my right jaw or gum area and when he looked thru y nose into my throat the 3rd time, He said I had a bad infection and got the oncologist on the phone but they talked out of the room. Dr is getting me lined up with the oral surgeon that took my teeth and gave me a script for antibiotics and told me to call the Dr in Pittsburgh and cancel the aneurysm surgery because it couod ruin my heart. Th th th th thats all folks. to be continued.

Been a while since I was on.. What in the world are you doing now? or should I say having now? Boy, you guys are always doing something. I find it strange your Dr. did not tell you what he was concerned about... You should have asked. The only thing I can think of is that he did not want you in for any surgery with infection. Could be something else going on.??
Hope all will be ok... you take care.. Diane
