In September and October I was experiencing discomfort on the right side in the back of my tongue. I thought my tongue was scratching a chipped tooth. I finally couldnt take it any longer and went to my dentist Dr. Lotsof at Methodist Hospital. When he took a look at my tongue he excused himself and went to his office where he made an appointment with Dr. Louis Halkias of Oral Surgery Associates. I went to see him and November 3rd he performed a Biopsy on my tongue. A week later I went back and he told me that the results of the Biopsy showed that I had tongue cancer. He also made an appointment with Dr. Markiewicz and told me that Dr. Markiewicz not only was his teacher but his specialty was tongue cancer. When I went to see him I brought my girlfriend who was a cancer survivor and she had a lot of questions which Dr.Markiewicz answered everyone which really helped me understand. The best news though was when the Doctor examined my tongue he told me that we caught the cancer in its infancy and that it hadnt spread. He told me I had squamous cell carcinomas. He also told me there would be a partial tongue removal plus a sentinel node biopsy. On November 30th I had surgery And since then Ive been cancer free. I continue to see Dr.Markiewicz once every 6 weeks and since yesterday (5-22-17) its now every 3 months. Not only do I think that Dr. Markiewicz is awesome I also think he ROCKS!!!

It has been a long process 2 1/2 year. I have gone through 2 periodontists, 2 prosthodontists, 2 hygenists, and 3 supervisors. It is a long drive from Naperville, but I knew I could not afford the work in the suberbs. I had an issue with every single tooth except eye teeth. Somed teeth were pulled. Root canals were done over. I am on my 2nd set of temporary teeth which I didnt fully understand the need for. When the old temps were taken out and the new temps were put in, I totally understood. These temps were in the perfect and final position and they are amazing. The 2nd set of temps were in the exact position my final crowns will be in. The bite is perfect and the look is incredible. I am told the final teeth will be even better. I can finally see why so much had to be done and why it took so long. Why did I have 2 sets of temporary teeth? My original bite included top teeth that protruded and lower teeth that were pushing my top teeth out further. I had what is called in lay term a collapsed bite. The first set of temporary teeth changed my bite but not too the final stage, as a severely off bite has to be changed gradually giving time for the facial muscles to accept it. Hats off to Dr. Basaya, Dr. Kendall and Dr. Moranis for their excellent thinking, planning, and work. It is worth the time and money and so much less than Id have had to pay in Naperville.
