From that point, there was always a medical doctor who oversaw the HBO. Each of the 2 sites I went to HBO at had their own doctor who checked me a few times per week. My original infection was cured but with my history, I had IV antibiotics continuing for a total of 8 months. Since you were previously on antibiotics that could be why your doc wants to keep you on them. The IV antibiotics are stronger than Augmentin. I would think your ENT would be able to help you with this. Your clinical trial oncologist wouldnt handle your HBO. If you have already undergone 50+ HBO's then there should be a noticeable improvement. Best wishes with your CT scan.
