So my ENT doesn't believe that my PET's elevated activity is cancer and instead believes that the plates in my jaw from my fibular free flap are causing inflamation/infection and has prescribed me HBO treatments.

While I'm relieved that he doesn't believe it's cancer, I'm hesitant about HBO tx. I've read posts on here that say it's pretty easy just time consuming. Can I bring a book or my ipod into treatment to occupy my time? I'd love to bring my ipod touch, it's got chess and other strategy games that I love while being able to listen to my music. I used my ipod touch to get me through my chemo and it was wonderful as i could watch movies, play games and music etc...

Anyway if anyone has any insight here I would appreciate it.
