This is indeed good news. I'm very happy for you. My wife almost got that type of treatment for a sore that wouldn't heal on her ankle, but since she's on medicare they wouldn't pay for it, so she had to go a different direction. Of course it took much longer to heal the sore that way but we finally got there. But your news is great and I celebrate with you.
Aloha The Stranger,
I am sorry about your wife and medicare's refusal. The same happened to me, my HMO (medicare agent) refused to purchase the mild HBOT chamber for home use (even though prescribe by my uro) and my wife & I decided it was worth the risk. Especially after communicating with Pat in Alaska. These units start at about $8k, but that size you can hardly turnover in. So we opted for a larger unit that both of us could sit in. We are thankful for that decision and surprised that we could see results so quickly, especially from what we read.
Thanks,
Joe
Aloha,
Had to get back on the Pain Management Program yesterday afternoon. This PCa stuff is like a yo-yo, never know which way you are going to be jerked.
