Thank you, Heidi. I am so very sorry for your loss. I'm glad this forum is here for you and that it provides you with some comfort. I appreciate you sharing your story., and I am concerned about hyperbaric for the reasons you stated. I am very scared. Bone biopsy is Monday. I am praying hard, and I will add you to my prayers.
