Cclark,

My mom still has an area that hasn't completely healed and she finished her radiation well over a year ago. All her scans are clean and still show a little swelling in the area but both the dentist and her ENT feel confident that it is not cancer. My mom also went through a long period of time after treatment where she had no appetite at all. It took her until now to finally be at a healthy weight and look like her old self again. She still has some pain issues because of bone exposure and I can totally relate to your anxiety from what the doctor said. My moms ENT was always very frank with us let us know when there were areas of concern. I can remember going crazy thinking that something was wrong whenever there were areas of concern but now she is healing nicely and everything looks good.
I'm very happy to hear that the CT scans look good. Please let me know how the HBO treatments go. I really want my mom to look into those.
