Well, we got a lucky break today. I called the cancer hospital to schedule an appointment with the surgeon next week to get my husband's biopsy results. Even though the surgeon had told us that she would only deliver the news personally (and she is on vacation this week), her (kind) nurse told us the results were in and there was no evidence of cancer. We were both elated, of course. He has an appointment with the surgeon next Monday, and if she stays true to her word, she will give him a script for the hyperbaric oxygen treatments. So, maybe he'll finally get that non-healing spot taken care of. I wonder if this treatment will help the inflammation in his neck left from the neck dissection and radiation as well? We'll find out soon, hopefully.
