YUMMY! I love that soup i will try it ty <3

Ok, well i am in pain but they pulled that damn tooth.. the cavity was huge an seemed to go under the tooth!

Chin numb and jaw still hurting but it has only been 24 hrs... I do NOT want TMJ :( But, though i am trying to move earth to prove them wrong it seems like i may have it :(

I have had years of hell with my teeth an TMJ happens when its like this :(

there was a new full body scan i was told about an i can't remember the name of it... it would be head to toe an would work with sarcoma... anyone have any ideas.. i know it was new and low radiation :/

Dear Amanda,
I am so grateful that you were able to have the tooth extracted and Hope that your chin numbness and jaw pain will now quickly dissipate and be completely resolved. If the tooth extraction site is healed in time and your jaw pain is gone, will you still be able to move forward with your scheduled lung met surgery on November 15th?
If you are able to find out the name of the new full body low radiation scan that you mentioned that you were told about, it would be deeply appreciated if you could share the information as it could possibly provide a good alternative to the concerning higher radiation scans which are currently being used for most of the patients on this Board.
Take care dear Amanda, feel better, rest well, and have a good and relaxing weekend while you recover from your dental surgery.
With gentle hugs, special caring thoughts, healing wishes, and continued Hope,
Bonni

Amanda, I have a sarcoma friend with a different type of sarcoma (synovial) who had the met to the jaw bone, she had it cryoablated by Dr.Littrup with a success. Keep this option in mind if this damn something turns out to be an ASPS met. It is appropriate to wish to a person to have an infectious bone abscess instead of the sarcoma met?

Hi Olga,
Ok I would rather take care of it that way then a huge frightening surgery!

I would much more wish for the latter Ty bring that infection in the bone on! It's odd but I also think it is that this started when I had an upper tooth infection.... I did two rounds of clindamiacin an it laughed at it...

Is sarcoma tumor a lil squishy or hard. This feels like a tight balloon an the pain is horrible! I started taking 800mg Motrin an a norco to try an stop this pain an I had no pain before the tooth infection last month,

I know it's weird but I am praying for that infection! It gave me hope lol :)

I love this forum Ty it's 2am an came here for help an found it in the replies! <3
