Marcscohen--- I have several questions about your jaw
#1---what ype of testing did they do to find out?
#2-- do you know the type of infection?
#3-- What type of antibiotic did they use?
#4---What type of doctor was in charge of your treatment?



Thank you very much

Thank you for posting about the necrosis in your jaw and the antibiotics. I'm getting a hole under my nose-I don't know if it's from the type of cancer I have or necrosis. My oncologists have been post-poning my bi-annual scans and exams. I've contacted them on phone and Email. I've been told to not worry. I had a screaming fit the last time an office called to reschedule a few months later. I'm going for my scan at 1 pm today---I wrote a letter that I'm giving to the imaging company-begging for them to report the hole- how deep the size-calcification.

Did your necrosis have calcification around the edge? Is the size of a dime a big hole?

Hi marcscohen. How are doing? Looks like you have had some good news. That is wonderful.

I don't know how to msg on here. I could blame it on the full brain radiation but it also could be due to the MS "cog fog" which is why they made me retire. I used to be a salesman.

Marc...you are one of those guys who I also like to read about. I'm 61 y.o. Stage IV EGFR+NSCLC...DX'd July 2013. I'm an oncology P.A. who never suspected I'd be in the chair across from an oncologist!:). I've been on Tarceva for 15 mo with a nearly complete response. I still work at our oncology clinic MWF and love it even more than I did before my dx. Marc, your communication and just "being there" for people is invaluable. Your persistence is very instructive to all of us. I look forward to following you on the site. By the way, what's your current therapy?

Congratulations! Thank you for posting. It gives us hope and encouragement.
