How is Heather doing these days ? I had infection during the RAD too. As a matter of fact, I had another two infections after the RAD. Now, I am in Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment because my ENY Doc is concerned that hte mandible might get infected. I had nuclear scan on Jan 2 which came back OK, so the osteomyelitis is not an immediate concern now, I will be finishing HOBT end of Jan. All I can tell now is that the HBOT does help healing the tissue damaged by RAD, my throat pain was almost gone by now.
