[quote=PaulB]Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon said it wouldn't help...
Actually, I was relieved not to do it again. After I did HBOT in 2011, for the same 3rd molar, I had a cancer recurrence about a month after I finished. Plus it really tired me out like radiation did, messed with my vision, balance, increased neuropathy, sinus, and needed a blood transfusion in 2011 midway. Wether or not some of these were related or not just doesn't make me want to do it unless necessary.[/quote]I can understand that.

You have really had a tough time. I hope things get better for you.


Squamous cell carcinoma base of tongue. Lymph involvement unclear; staging placed at "2 or 3." Biopsy 4/18/2008. Treatment: IMRT every day for 7 weeks. Cisplaten once a week to sensitize cancer to radiation. Treatment ended 7/16/08. PET/CT shows no more cancer.
