Thought it was worth popping back to Update again.
I'm over 8 years since treatment but still being seen every 6 months because of the osteoradionecrosis in the lower left jaw where the radio therapy was targeted. The tooth that was wobbly got loose and looser over the time since I last posted and came out in the autumn last year. That was followed by a small piece of dead bone. The hole it left seems clean now and and has partially covered its self but is still a hole.
It doesn't look as bad...
