Hi, I am new to the group so hello all. I was diagnosed with throat cancer in March but after intensive chemoradion treatment the cancer is in remmission. About 4 weeks ago I noticed a small protusion in my lower gum which I assumed was a new tooth. I have since seen a counsultant and had a CT scan and they think I have a small bit Osteoradionecrosis. A bit of my jawbone protufing from my gum. I sm just wondering if anyone on the forum has suffered this? How have you managed symptoms. Mine is very painful especially when eating. Also any tips for treating this condition. Thanks in advance. Joe
