Hi Shelley,
I am so sorry about your Aunt. I see and hear these stories every day and it is so incredibly sad. These drugs are like throwing fuel on a burning fire in people who already have compromised immune systems caused by the drugs used to treat their cancer. The end result is usually disastrous and unrepairable.
Most likely your Aunt literally has no jawbone left and the osteonecrosis is still lingering in her skeletal structure of what use to be her jawbone. This is incredibly invasive and it is often impossible to cure. This condition is physically deforming and eating can be nearly impossible. Not to mention the chronic inflammation that continues to weaken her immune system. What a shame........ I am so sorry :-(
Thank you for posting this...........
Bryanna
