About three weeks out from hyperbaric treatment and I have seen improvrements to my throat damage from my rad. treatment. Still can't eat because of not being able to swallow but the pain that has been in that area has decreased. Dr. went in two weeks ago and said that the raw friable tissue seems much better. Not spitting up blood and my teeth feel better.
Had 40 dives and lost my distance vision but it is slowly returning. Had to tubes puy in my ears because of the pressure but did well after. HBO doctor says that the blood flow increased from about 15 to 20% to 80 to 85% of pre rad.
