I am so glad to hear the great news! I am sure you are relieved.
I also had mouth ulcers during RT and then for months after treatment ended. I wasn't able to eat solid foods and was on pain killers for a long time (fentanyl plus lortab) plus the magic mouthwash and another mouth wash.
My doctor discussed HBO with me also but put me on a drug called trental along with vitamin E first. This did help somewhat with my mouth ulcers, but I did end up going through HBO because of the ulcers and some other issues that developed. HBO is time consuming and expensive, but it did help.
Wishing you the best!
