That's *wonderful* news! I've been thinking of the both of you and hoping that was the news you would hear. Thank goodness there are kind nurses who will let you know good news ASAP.

I am very curious about the hyperbaric oxygen treatment and how it goes so I look forward to leanring more when it happens for you. I still have several not healed and very tender spots (though I'm just 6 weeks past rad) to the point where I'm not able to eat and am still using the tube even though I'm dying for some real food. Its nice to know that kind of treatment can actually speed up healing if necessary.

You don't have any published research on that (HBO helping with post-rad healing of mucostistic sores), do you? If you find out about any, could you give me the citation?
