Yes, you are correct Tammy.

Cheryl is also right about But if there is one cancer cell there then chances are with or without hbo it will grow.

Cancer loves oxygen and thats what HBO is, pressurized pure oxygen. I dont know exactly where I got this info from, I cant remember reading any studies about it. Im sorry, I wish I had a study to refer you to so you would be able to make a decision.

One thing I do know for certain, ORN can be brutally painful. Plus it will only spread as time goes on if left untreated. This is what our pal EzJim has gone thru over the past couple years. He was not able to do HBO due to other medical issues and HBO is what he needed to do for his bad jaw. Poor guy is in alot of pain for years and I just dont know how he is able to manage it on a daily basis. Recently, Ive had my own ORN issues and surgeries that I havent discussed here. At this time my situation has been corrected.

I would discuss this with any other doctors who are familiar with HBO, like an ENT or the oncology docs.

Best wishes, please let us know how you make out.
