One of the residents at the hospital called today. He was being honest but I was asking about Hyperbaric chambers and he did not seem to think they were a quarantee for ridding me of this problem. I appreciate the honesty. I can't see any way right now that this situation will improve. The highest concentration of radiation went into this area. Looking back I remember the dentist raising an eyebrow when reading the rad dosage for front of mouth. He thought it was high. Think I'll go away for awhile to deal with this. I thought by now I would be helping people here and I am just getting more and more caught up in my situation.
Thanks to all for the conversation.
