Thanks for the info. I will remember the HBOT for the near future when we consider the surgery. It was also mentioned to me (from Brian) that rad patients who are at high risk of stroke should get a Ultra sound of their corrated artery after Rad. My Mom started her treatment with high blood pressure and high cholesterol so I am pushing for this exam. Has anyone else had this done?

Moms blood counts went from 1.7 to 5.7 today. I am sooo happy. Now we just need to control the vomiting/naseau. Once she can tolerate nutrition she can go home. Her morale is shot. She has 3 more ImRT's left (done 37) and she told the dr today that she is quitting them too. So now she will have only had 1/2 of her chemo and missed 3 imrts. Hopefully these decisions will provide her with some relief but still have a positive outcome in the long haul.
