Re: Need input!
Just an update!
This has been going on for months!
Eventually after many consultations, e-mail & tel calls about broken tooth - My dentist took root out with minimal damage to bone. Her words " just wiggled it out".
Oral Surgeon agreed with her that it was ok to remove but he suggested a stitch should be put in to help close over gum etc. She is now going to monitor for next 3-4 weeks to see how it is healing.
My Nurse still not happy - doubt if she ever will be - she has confided in me that it is difficult for her as the Oncologists/Doctors will not agree on how to deal with zometa and dental treatment. Some say go ahead with extractions etc, others are definite "no's." Not good for the patients!!
I might refuse next weeks Zometa though- probably pointless but think everyone will be happy with this decision!
