 Thank you for responding, I appreciate your feedback about HBO treatments.  After going thru chemo and radiation, my thinking is it cant be worse and it sure cant hurt.  I would do just about anything to get back to my old self.  This whole thing has been one long nightmare which I have endlessly suffered.
 
 Currently I have gotten another sore in my mouth which hasnt healed so Im getting a biopsy on Monday.  The outcome results are what will determine how soon I will procede with HBO.
