@GovTimWalz Meanwhile, the @BlueCrossMN plan for @InterFacultyOrg singles out head and neck cancer survivors for less restorative care than other forms of cancer. This is inequitable and destroys lives and careers!!! #cancersurvivor @GovTimWalz @KHNews @SenAmyKlobuchar

Thank you to our snowplow drivers, first responders, state troopers, and the @MNNationalGuard for providing aid to Minnesotans across the state and working tirelessly to keep our roads and highways as safe as possible!

Clearly, @MMBCommunicates is not interested in assessing medical necessity of a medical claim. @HHCGrp Is not an honest arbiter and should not be the choice of a state agency that controls the medical insurance for all @InterFacultyOrg member. @GovTimWalz

@BlueCrossMN covered the extractions but has denied dental rehabilitation, leaving me more disabled than necessary! Abandoning me mid-treatment is criminal! @wcco @cnn @msnbc @kare @SenAmyKlobuchar

it is not unexpected for RNs working with insurance companies not to understand how being a laryngectomee affects everything from lung health to chewing and digestion. Trismus, microstomia, xerostomia, neuropathy all necessitate specialized dental rehabilitation.

This phenomenon is not limited to laypersons; rather, it is not uncommon for ENTs with years of experience to have never met or worked with any laryngectomees.

The relative rarity of this cancer leads to a lack of awareness as to the surgical procedures, treatments and therapies, as well as the long term effects of the various medical interventions.

Laryngectomees are less than 0.003% of the US population. Throat cancer does not receive the media attention of other forms of cancer.

Head and neck radiation therapy has many side effects, and I got a few of them -- trismus, radiation fibrosis, and xerostomia. All of these affect my bite, my ability to open my mouth, the size of the opening of my mouth.

My teeth were extracted during the laryngectomy in anticipation of the six-weeks of daily radiation therapy that followed the life-changing surgery.
