  • Hello Mickyboy75, 

    Poor you that sounds really painful - and costly! You must be exhausted having so little sleep. Have you had your appointment and how did it go? 

    There is information on our website on tooth problems linked to cancer treatment which I hope you will find useful and if you wanted to talk to our cancer nurses about what you have been going through, there is a free helpline you can ring on 0808 800 4040 - it is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    Make sure you ask your dentist what you can eat for the rest of the week after you have had these teeth removed. I hope it all goes well for you and that you will also get to talk to others on here who have had similar issues with their teeth.  posted this thread on long term damages of cancer and the effects on teeth and  commented in that thread that they also experienced the same problem. Those are just a couple of examples and I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have struggled with tooth decay.

    I hope that you are feeling better now after your emergency visit to the dentist. 

    Best wishes,
