Has anyone had root canals (so teeth) removed?

Absolutely vicious and small-minded.  Natty... you've often walked around the edges of good taste and sensitivity, but this time you've gone way too far.  Shame on you.

That was pretty vicious and quite cruel, but more than anything a sad reflection on the capacity of a person for such cruelty. Since I have been very public about the course of my disease, it has in fact been stage IV without a single symptom from the beginning. Additionally, that dx was two years ago and I have not progressed at all and the one bone met that I had is necrotic. A combination of good health habits, conventional treatment and probably good luck are what I attribute to my current situation.I'm very happy with two years of NED and a pretty much normal life. Your comment is just about a step short of taking delight in my disease. I may not support self dx or the choices others make but I wish them all the best. No re-thinking needed!

Somebody PMed me while I was away. Yes, I had my root canals removed. My two docs (including onc) supported it so most was covered by insurance. So glad I got those dead teeth out of my mouth!

Caryn,

When I saw Natty's first post, I was shocked. I missed her follow-up one which must have been even more disgusting, but unfortunately, it's not the first (and likely not the last) from her. It's a pattern for Natty (or whatever username she's using at the moment), unfortunately, which gives the alt health board such a bad rap here on BCO. I do feel sorry for her, she must have so much anger to lash out like that at someone completely innocent and I hope she gets help before she hurts anyone else. And this is a virtual board...imagine having to confront someone like that in person! I have always respected your comments here, and you have always been extremely open to hearing many different opinions and views without resorting to those types of underhanded and low insults.

One thing I did want to point out to everyone: as this is a public board, be very, very careful what you post on here about your private medical situation. As you have just seen, there are unfortunately individuals on the boards who will exploit you for what it's worth. I learned a long time ago never to put in personal identifying information, i.e. where I live, my personal circumstances, even for me, my personal diagnosis. As you see, it just takes one malicious member to exploit that information.

there are also members of this board who think it fitting to bully other members for going on three years

You know, there is a big difference between passionate disagreement over treatment/ self dx and virtually rejoicing in someone's stage IV dx. Yes, many of us are passionate about our respective views and that can become heated. But to relish someone else's advanced stage goes beyond the pale of human decency. Regardless of my opinions, I hope with all of my heart that we all do well and thrive.
