I finally found a dentist that didn't care about me having cancer and I was able to get an appointment really quick!
He looked at my amalgam fillings and my cancer spot and told me that removing the fillings would not be a problem. I did have to sign a liability waiver preventing from suing in case something should cause my cancer to spread. I'm not worried about that at all, I just wanted the amalgam fillings removed, because they were corroded.
Since I have 3 amalgam fillings on each side of my mouth it was recommended that I undergo the procedure to have only one side of my amalgam fillings removed at a time.
Yes, this is me. Looking silly in the dental garb.
After having the numbness stick around for several hours after having the fillings removed, I can see why this is a recommendation and I'm glad I listened, because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to eat anything all day. Now I know.
More importantly, it's a happy moment in my journey. I have one small victory completed with 3 fillings gone and 3 more to go!
My next appointment is April 6th. Yay!
