@ededed At an Ancan support group online session yesterday evening, someone said that hyperbaric treatments can last 60-90 minutes. What was your experience and time frame for the 30 treatments? When I had IMRT, it was every weekday for almost nine weeks.

My treatment lasted about 2 hours. I had sessions every weekday for six weeks. Missed sessions were added after the six weeks. Each session had 3, 30 minute courses of 100% oxygen with a 5 minute break in between to prevent oxygen poisoning while remaining in the multi-person compression chamber. During each session we watched a movie. It was common for us to miss the beginning or end of the movie, occasionally both the beginning and end were missed! The types of patients I met having the treatment with me included individuals who had toes amputated due to diabetes, pc patients with bladder radiation damage, and radiation proctitis.
