Here is a link from the ACS giving more detailed info about HBO. The price MaryAnne gave is very low, I would be concerned about goign to so small facility. In 2008 when I first had HBO it was $400 per dive and this year at a different facility it was $700 per dive. Both locations were part of a hospital and had technicians with 20+ years experience with HBO. Choose a facility carefully just like choosing your cancer doctors. http://www.cancer.org/Treatment/Tre...insandMinerals/hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy ChristineSCC 6/15/07 L chk & by L molar both Stag I, age44 2x cispltn-35 IMRT end 9/27/07 -65 lbs in 2 mo, no caregvr Clear PET 1/08 4/4/08 recur L chk Stag I surg 4/16/08 clr marg 215 HBO dives 3/09 teeth out, trismus 7/2/09 recur, Stg IV 8/24/09 trach, ND, mandiblctmy 3wks medicly inducd coma 2 mo xtended hospital stay, ICU & burn unit PICC line IV antibx 8 mo 10/4/10, 2/14/11 reconst surg OC 3x in 3 years very happy to be alive | | |
