Dani. Sorry I did not get back to you. We are away from the computer all week because of the HBO treatments. It is a 3 hour drive so we stay there until Fridays. The pain my husband has where the bone is exposed is just extreme soreness. Nothing like the original pain. He swabs with Lidocaine and that takes some of the pain away for a little while. Too bad it does not last longer. The treatments are going well and the doctors say that new tissue appears to be starting to form. Charlotte caregiver
