I have found the following 2 articles this morning. Both state HBO is safe to use when patients have previously been diagnosed with cancer and that HBO does not enhance tumour growth.

However Kris is keen on the alternative option we were given.
That is to do Root Canals on the teeth, leave a dressing on and then cap the tooth.
If he was 5 years out I would encourage him to do the HBO, but I still have lingering doubts.
I feel this root canal option will buy him time and then when he gets to the magical dreamed of 5 year mark we can look at HBO.
Thoughts?
