HBOT treatment is Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment. It involves spending time in a chamber for 2-hours, 5 times a week for a month. The chamber is pressurized so you receive high concentration of oxygen to rejuvenate the tissue in order to promote healing and recovery. The treatment is painless, however, very time consuming.

The technician does a base-line test called a T-COM test, which is a Transcutaneous Oxygen Test. In my instance, this was 0.9, normal range should be about 20 - 40 mmHg. This means the oxygen saturation in my tissue at the wound was very low and the HBOT therapy was necessary to restore this oxygen saturation for healing. This was caused by the radiation damage from my Superficial Radiation Treatments (SRT) to my legs.
