My mother had a biopsy done about 7 months ago . The spot is on her upper neck area rite below her chin. This biopsy was done from the inside but as time has gone bye this area has never healed and it has actually made a small hole throug her skin on her neck. This will not heal for nothing. I've noticed the last few days the hole seems to be getting a little bigger around. Its a very painful area.

I have talked to her doctors about this now open wound but the doctors dont seem to want to do anything about it. I was told that its bad tissue and its not going to heal. I feel like there has to be something they can do.

I mentioned HBOT but it does'nt seem like the doctors think its a good idea. I was told that the HBOT could actually feed the cancer.

Has anyone had anything like this happen ? If so did this ever heal ?

Thanks
Heidi
