UPDATE
Looks like the Chemo and HBOT didn't go well together.
After taking about 10 HBOT and then taking a Chemo treatment my mom has now landed back in the hospital. Seems like the Chemo destroyed the mending tissue from HBOT and now the wound is much worse.
Back to square one. I think my mom is going to take a break from the Chemo . At least for a few weeks until her body can maybe get a little stronger.
What a let down of our hopes and prayers.
The doctors have now started my mom on a Morphine Pump in the hospital because her pain level is so severe. The problem is in order to go home with this Morphine Pump Hospice must be involved. My mom is not mentally ready for Hospice. She still wants to battle this beast. Me personally I cant stand to see her go through so much pain and I have come to terms with the likely outcome. However I will let my mom make this decision .
The doctors said the Chemo would not affect the HBOT but now it was all for nothing.
Prayers for my mom Heidi
