Gary,

They did give her Cipro and she hasn't started to take it yet but I am personally very familiar with it because my husband has cronic diverticulis (he has had it since he was 23 doctors are amazed at how young he was when diagnosed and has spent many nights in the hospital once for 10 days straight they thought they were going to have to remove a portion of his colon) They usually give him Cipro, Flagyl and Leviquin and all of those have some nasty side effects for him so I'm going to make sure my mom really gets good information from the pharmacist. She is still finishing out the antibiotics the dentist gave her but they don't seem to killing the infection yet.

I am gathering info on the HBO treatments. I feel better myself today than I have in months because of the scan results. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. This is the first time in many many months that an appointment and results from her doctors have been positive and I feel so good knowing that she is cancer free at this time! Now we just need to fix this infection because it is causing her a lot of pain and discomfort and eating hasn't been too enjoyable for her yet because everything keeps getting stuck there and then she has to get the food out and it gets more irratated that is why I'm going to really push for those HBO treatments so she can heal up and move forward.

As always thanks for the information. You are all sooo wonderful!

Dani
