Has Anyone had success with hyperbarics?
I am 23 treatments into hyperbarics but plastic surgeon still will not give me a skin graft. The underlying tissue would not support it. I have seven more to go and that's it. The wound on my chest wall is 9 by 7 centimeters and has been open for almost a year. Hyperthermia rads did a number on me but the cancer has been gone now for over a year. It was worth it.
Does anyone have experience to share?
Thanks.
