radiotherapy coming up

Hi Tannis

It’s awful that you have had to have all your teeth removed. Usually it’s just decayed or at risk teeth that are removed to prevent complications post treatment. 
Why did they have to remove ALL of them? 
You must be in a lot of discomfort. Hope you have some support at home.

Hi that does sound a bit drastic but hopefully it will prevent further complications down the road in years to come. Did they explain why they are taking so many out?  Often it is just one or 2 taken as a precaution. 

i didn’t look after them i was so scared of dentists my own fault 

i didn’t look after them i was petrified of dentist my own fault and yes suffering now 

im absolutly petrified of the radiotherapy apperently it gets bad from week 3 ive had full tonsilectomy on both sides but got small cancer cells in neck they said i dint need a peg but

I have just replied to the post you put up in the radiotherapy section. Because RT to the throat is quite different to anywhere else you're not likely to get a meaningful reply there so stick with us. Don't panic. Your team will not leave you in pain and unable to get food into you.

My trust policy was to refuse a PEG. I had an NG and it saved my life. Can you remind me where you are being treated? 

they said i don’t need a peg everything has just happened so quickly monday just gone i went to maxifacial at hospital he said im sorry but your teeth to damaged we need to remove all wed  i had to go back for swabs and they told me i had to be at hospital 7am thurs to have them removed the tonsillectomy was the worse pain i ever went through and i don’t think i can deal with anymore

pain 

wats a ng i’m being treated at telford/shrewsbury hospital it’s 48 miles away so not

looking forward to the travelling either 

i’ve just read wat you went through and you are one amazing lady xxx
