"A calf ulcer as a result of skin cancer and radiation treatment."

About: Prince of Wales Hospital / DB1 - Hyperbaric Unit

(as the patient),

My initial assessment by Dr. Jan was to approve the treatment plan and set a schedule for the Hyperbaric treatment.

From the very first appointment I made feel welcome by the receptionist and the nurses. The process was fully explained by the nurses including a short history of the Hyperbaric treatment.

At the completion of the first session the nurses then treated the ulcer at the same time Dr. Jan and Dr. Cheyne consulted. This treatment took an hour. This treatment was continued every day for the thirty days of the campaign.

Photos were taken as a record of the progress. After 3 weeks I had an appointment with my Radiation Oncologist, Dr Wenchang, I am his first referral for Hyperbaric treatment, he expressed his surprise at the successful progress that was being made.

I was given five treatments in the individual chamber, with the same expertise as in the collective chamber.

The five nurses who looked after me after each session, while each had their own approach, the method was exactly the same which gave me confidence in the total experience.

It has been one of the most professional experiences of my life.
