Hello @jano At what stage of the process are you? I was last treated in 2014 and I'm pushing on with the usual side effects/ongoing problems. I'm seeing the oncology dentist in Auckland today about my biting issues. I have only a few teeth left, wear a dental plate and mouth guard but I am biting on the "flap" over my left lower gum. It's not much fun but I keep well and I'm glad to be alive.

Hi everyone, This is Loli. I have not participated in a long time. I share so many things with Maureen, it is not funny! I have just started biting my flap too! I have lost a bunch of molars to receding gums after radiation therapy, four to be exact. Dry mouth, only when I wake up. During the day it improves. Somehow, I have stoped juicing and I think I should go back to it. It is the one thing that helped me the most. Seven years for me! My scars are a daily remainder that I am human, and that I am alive and blessed with a bunch of grandkids that love me. My best to all!
