I just finished Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments for some radiation burning and excess tissue growing (I'm high risk for radiation). This treatment is amazing. It also help with my neuropathy and some other problems I had been having. If you have damaged skin or radiation problems. See if you can try this treatment. It is a commitment. I went 5 days a week for 40 treatments. There are a few side effects from the oxygen, but they clear up without any more medications. I cannot recommend this treatment enough. I was in a wheelchair three years ago (not from the cancer), I can now walk alone or with a cane. It has helped my legs so much. It's an amazing treatment.

Thank you for sharing such encouraging news about your hyperbaric oxygen therapy experience. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has shown promise in research studies for helping with radiation-related tissue damage, and it's wonderful to hear about the positive changes you've experienced. Your detailed account of the treatment schedule and commitment involved will likely be valuable for other community members who might be considering this option - it's always helpful when people share what the actual treatment process looks like day-to-day.
