Hi Shaun. Sorry to hear what’s happened. I certainly remember your earlier days here.
Before you do anything else ask… no insist… for a referral to Mr Vinod Patel at Guys
Heres a link
https://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk/our-consultants/vinod-patel
He is the expert in ORN
Let us know how you get on

Hi Danni . I did email about 3 months ago or so but got not reply. I am anxious it will delay any surgery. I know you've mentioned vinod before but given that I have pathological fracture and a large area of necrotic bone damage am I too far for PENTO ?
Hi Shaun I’m so sorry to read re your oestoradiodencrosis please try and contact via the link Danis given you I’m unsure why they didn’t reply but it’s worth a try. Dont know re the Pento thunks that an answer only the surgeon can give you.
Let us know how you get on is it Michael Hio you're seeing seeing at Leed s?

Thanks Hazal, yes it's Mr HO.have you any knowledge about him that could be helpful ? Cheers.

I know but this guy is a surgeon.
There is always Vin Paleri (of "Super Surgeons" fame) of the Marsden too. What this man can do with a broken head is unbelievable. He might take you on. Again worth a try.

Unfortunately I have developed osteoradionecrosis with pathological fracture of the left mandible.
Bloody hell Shaun. I've just remembered this thread https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer_types/head-neck-cancer-forum/f/updates/270698/shaun22-update-on-biopsy-of-jaw

Thanks Dani. I did mention about vinod patel and guys hosp numerous times to my macmillan nurse but she mentions she knows nothing about vinod patel or indeed the process of any referrals so this appears to go nowhere. Is this chap private health care or is it NHS funding needed ? Like you say I could always try and telephone and see if I can persue things myself as this seems the only way to look into this.
