Squeezing In an Unconventional Treatment Before Flying Home!

Our flight to Portland does not depart until 1:00 PM, so I decided to
visit a Tulsa Health Clinic for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. I was placed into a chamber which was pressurized to 1.5 atmosphere with 100% oxygen for 60 minutes. Hyperbaric Therapy has many uses, but I am undergoing the treatments to stimulate blood production. My blood counts have never recovered from the previous chemotherapy and radiation I received in 2008 & 2009. Low blood counts (white blood cell & platelets in particular) have prevented me from undergoing any further conventional chemotherapy treatments.
