Cheryl,

No, he isn't still getting HBO treatments - he got the 10 following the extractions and that ended at the end of April. He is scheduled with the oncologist on Thursday. He is off today and his nurse already mentioned more antibiotics and more HBO as possible treatments. Michael is now saying he doesn't want any more HBO - says he still can't see or hear normally since the first round. I am hoping he will change his mind if that is the recommended treatment. One major problem is that none of these people have seen many oral cancer patients or treated osteonecrosis. His cancer center is affiliated with MD Anderson however. It is just really frightening getting this relatively close to the five year mark and now this.
