So today we've been on a road trip to Sir Charles Clifford Dentist Hospital and Weston Park.
When we arrived at Sir Charles I was seen my a really nice chap who explained why my teeth had to be checked out (please note I hate dentists but I do go every 6 months) apparently when I have the radiation the blood around my gums will be affected, so if any of my teeth are dodgy they need to come out now, because through the treatment they will become weak and if they fall out or are taken out my gums won't heal and this could cause infection and make me ill. So he had a quick look and said all looked good just needed a quick X-ray to double check, so off I went came back and he said the wisdom tooth on the other side to where the Cancer is, has grown at a funny angle and was going to cause damage to the tooth at the side of it so they needed to come out.
'O' NO FEAR OF GOD RUSHED OVER ME, everyone that has had wisdom teeth out who I know has said how much pain they have been in, anyway he said I just want to talk to Dr Foran before we get you booked in, he came back and said we can do it now, he couldn't get in touch with Dr Foran but I needed these teeth out ASAP so my mouth can heal ready for the treatment to go ahead.
I thought Woe your horses here I can't open my mouth fully without it hurting how the heck am I going to sit for 45 mins while you take teeth out today, also Im supposed to be signing to go on the trial in the next 10 mins panic panic lol,
Anyway I spoke to the dentist again and said I wasn't sure I could do it today due to the pain Im still getting and could I come back he agreed that it was ok for me to have the weekend to see if my mouth heals a little more but I needed to have this treatment Monday or Tuesday phew phew lol.
Of to Weston Park
When we checked in we had to wait along time but thats ok I really dont mind waiting everyone here has Cancer you can't rush no one xxxx
We went in to see Dr Foran who told us the best news ever the PET scan results were back and the Cancer is no where else in my body just in my tonsil and neck this is FANTASTIC NEWS yippee xx
I explained that she needed to phone the dentist hospital about my teeth, so she got straight on the phone and she agreed that I needed the teeth out but due to the pain and my FEAR I'm having the teeth out under a General Anaesthetic (put to sleep) so I'm going in to Hallamshire on Tuesday to have them removed.
I signed all the paperwork for trial so its all go yippee
Night Night xxxx
