I'm confused - what are HBC dives/HB therapy? Are you referring to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) or something different?
Many OC patients undergo HBOT (myself included) but it is typlicaly after radiation because of damage to your jaw bone and healing issues.
From what I've read HBOT is not recommended if you have (or may have) active cancer cells as it is believed that the increased oxygen feeds the cancer cells (which you don't want).
Who recommended this treatment?
