The skin graph that was supposed to cover the bone pretty much fried with the radiation so it left the bone exposed. She also has to take pain killers fairly often but does not like taking them. She has had no HBO treatments because her ENT feels that if there was any cancer left the HBO treatments would cause it to spread faster. She just had a PET/CT scan last week that showed no signs of any cancer in her body but she to is experiencing pain. If you happen to find anything that will help this please keep me posted. I feel horrible that she has to live with this pain and hope there is something they can do to help her in the near future.
