I have a deteriated jaw bone from radiation and i have a cyst somewhere in the area. My oncologist sent me to a specialist and he said dont worry about it. I told my cancer doctor this and he said its coming out. He is going to try and get it out with a needle instead of cutting the side of my face. Should i leave it or get it out.

    Personally I would go with
    Personally I would go with my oncologist's recommendation and have it removed. I'm sure he has his reasons for wanting it gone, possibly could cause problems later on??

    Hope all works out for you.

    I agree with Glenna, get it
    I agree with Glenna, get it out. If memory serves me right, it can continue to enlarge and cause more damage. My husband had a bone cycst in his leg as a teenager. They had to remove it and replace the bone with part of his hip bone. A cyst anywhere can't be good. Praying all goes well.
