Kris saw the oral surgeon today. His teeth continue to decay and the time has come for some definitive treatment.
HBO is one of our options prior to extraction. However, the oral surgeon mentioned to us that if there is 1 remaining cancer cell, HBO can accelerate growth.
Frankly, if this is so I will not let Kris undertake this.
Does anyone here know if this is so? I can only find conflicting papers/opinions on this.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
