Of course you are!: The knots in her thighs could be breast cancer. It sounds like her cancer has spread to many places. The thighs aren't an area that will cause many problems, but her brain is a big concern. Have you talked to your mom about where she would like to die? That's a hard conversation, but a compassionate and loving thing to understand so you can plan together. Cherish this time with her.

Agree with earlier: Responses. I know of no connection between the large knots on her upper thighs and use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
