It's being recommended for John as a accompanying treatment along with his Opdivo.  It sounds like the jury is out whether it actually does any good or not, but we're more concerned about the side effect potential of the air pressure itself...ear drums, eye pressure, lung issues, etc.  And with his weak trachea due to the growth in there, it could also foment a collapsed trachea.
