Eric,

It looks like the area that is oozing is right over the metal plate along his jaw. Radiation is a double edged sword--kills the cancer and damages the good stuff. I looked online for a long time the other night to see if there was a lifetime maximum number of dives for HBOT. Couldn't find anything. But we will look into Wound Care specialists. That's a great idea!

BTW I finally joined Facebook, too.

Thanks!
