Hello Dr. My mom is a cancer patient. She is 63 year old. In the month of November was her last chemotherapy. And suddenly in the month of December she got dry gangrene. We amputated her leg below knee 40 days back. After stitches removal she got some infection and got a hole Now Dr. is suggesting to go for hyperbaric oxygen therapy to heal her wound. So should we go for it Or regular dressing will work for her? Please reply Thank you.
