Excellent interviews. Thank you. I’m 11 years out. Still have dry mouth and swallowing issues. I lost 80 pounds during treatment with no feeding tube. Had my surgery at Washington Hospital in St. Louis. Also had neck dissection on both sides with only one lymph node involved. My GP caught it at a regular check up appointment when she saw one tonsil enlarged. Interestingly now none of my docs ever look in my mouth. I still go to regular cancer check up appointments yearly in Celebration Florida. I have had 10 crowns on my teeth within the last two years as all of a sudden they started to crumble. It’s a rough road to travel but if caught early enough the outcomes are very positive. Blessings to all of you.

At what point did your teeth start crumbling? I am 7 years out and need a tooth extracted. I am 20 days into hbo. Surgery in a couple weeks. Did you have to have any teeth pulled?

@@plattapuss5844 I was 9 years out. Absolutely do not have a tooth pulled without going through one week of hyperbaric before and a week right after no matter what your dentist says. Get your oncologist to order the hyperbaric so your insurance will pay.
Great presentation, thank you
