    Can proton radiation be used for bladder preservation rather than removal after diagnosis of muscle invasive bladder cancer (T2) and chemo treatment with cisplatin & gemcitiabine?

    It was May 2016 when doctors told me I had months to live, but the worst thing was telling my children. My husband Dave and I decided to wait a month, until their exams were over, and when the day came, I was lying in bed. Matthew, who is now 18, started to cry, and Georgina, 20, said, ‘Mum, you can’t expect me to go to your funeral. Afterwards, I lay in the middle of them, holding their hands. I realised that I had so much to say to them but I didn’t do it immediately as we tried to keep family life normal probably a bit in denial.Then one day, just as I was arriving for an appointment at Princess Alice Hospice in Esther Surrey, not far from our home, one of the nurses said, "Dr Harvey Herbal World might do it." "Do what?" I asked. She introduced me to Dr Harvey, I explained My Pancreatic life Story to him and I was told that I can be cured of this disease, Only God knew that I never believe because all my hope was lot at this point. But when Dr Harvey make me understand I pray about it that God should care me through his herbs because I have a lovely family and kids. Two months after taking the herbal herbs I go for a check up and there where no sign of Pancreatic cancer. Is It that I'm totally cure? I ask myself until the Dr Confirmed it that I was cured of Pancreatic Cancer.I also learned how much friends and family can be part of getting well. Our circle of friends and relatives was an incredible support. I want to anyone suffering from Cancer to contact Dr Harvey via {Drhavrveyphytotheraphy@yahoo.com) WhatsApp:+19716663103 All thanks to him that I didn't give up on life..

    Doctors still don’t know that the tumor is not the disease it’s the immune system. It’s because of all the radiation and poisons that we put into our body that wore it down it down in the first place.

    Hi Carl It's Mitch again. I know it's next to impossible for any doctor to advise without all the information in front of him. But I need your opinion because I have to make a decision very soon. The only 2 options for me are: Are a neobladder or Studer pouch which I believe he makes out of a piece of my intestine. I understand that there will be 6 months to a year before I can fully control the bladder. This option sounds good because there is cancer in the right ureter that would be cut out also prostate and lymph nodes are thrown over board. The second option he called immunotherapy done in 3 visits filling the bladder with something to assist my immune system. Which I think it certainly needs. He first removed a 4.5 cm tumor from inside the bladder. A couple months later another exploratory look around found multiple small tumors. So right there I'm not at all impressed with my immune systems ability to defend against these tumors. These are my options and I was wondering what you had heard about the studer pouch and or immunotherapy. Thank you Carl for your time. Mitch Mabee

    • @californiaprotonscancerthe5503
      @californiaprotonscancerthe5503 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mitch, You are right, knowing what to recommend can be a little tough without knowing the whole picture. It sounds like what they are presenting you with is the standard treatment which would be surgical removal of the bladder followed by creation of some type of a new bladder [usually from a piece of intestine] or treatment with BCG, which is a bacteria [actually a form of tuberculosis bacteria] which is put into the bladder and in some cases can cause enough of an immune reaction to destroy superficial bladder tumors, the fact that you developed additional small tumors within the bladder after they removed the larger tumor may be why they are recommending immunotherapy as at least a alternative treatment. The immunotherapy tends to be more of a stopgap, not everybody responds to it and even those who respond do not always respond forever. What you often find is that you will get some tumor regression, but then it grows back. Again, I'm guessing/recommending without having all of the facts to go on but based upon what you have told me about your situation I would be leaning toward surgery." Carl

    Hi Carl this is Mitch from Elmo. Listen is there a 12 step program for endorphins? Because Darren is just out of control. Someone needs to do an intervention. He's running 50, 100 mile races HE RAN ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR CRY EYE. It's not because he's broke, he owns a car. It's bad Carl he's got like a 4 pair of training shoes per month habit. Okay so this segues poorly into my real question concerning proton therapy and whether it would be useful in my situation. I had a 4.5 centimeter tumor removed from my bladder, it was cancerous and it had gone through the bladder wall. For the next 2 weeks those empty bladder random detrusor contractions would drop me to the floor. PET scan found more cancer on one of the ureter tubes, some right at the beginning of the prostate and nothing on the lymph nodes. They want to fit me with a chest port this week and start 8 weeks of aggressive chemo before radical resection: throwing all non-essential tissue over board e.g. bladder, prostate lymph nodes. I would give anything to hear your thoughts on how necessary the chemo is. mitchmabee99@gmail.com 951-375-2395. I'll cut and copy my PET scan report.

    EXAM: PET CT TUMOR IMAGING SKULL BASE TO MID THIGH CLINICAL INDICATION: Invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder diagnosed October 2018. Status post transurethral bladder resection. PET/CT REQUESTED FOR: Initial treatment strategy. CORRELATIVE STUDIES: CT chest 9/18/2018. CT urogram 9/1/2018. TECHNIQUE: Following the intravenous injection of 10.97 mCi 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) and a 55-minute delay to allow for uptake of the tracer, images were obtained from the skull base to the mid thigh on a G.E. Discovery VCT scanner, along with 3D reconstruction. Oral contrast was administered. CT scanning was performed through the same area for the purpose of attenuation correction. Blood glucose at the time of injection was 118 mg/dL. The total DLP was 1055 mGy-cm and the CTDI was 15 mGy. The SUV-max of the liver is 2.8. Low dose protocols were performed. One or more of the following dose reduction techniques were used: automated exposure control, adjustment of the mA and/or kV according to patient size, use of iterative reconstruction technique. FINDINGS: There is normal physiologic uptake of the FDG radiotracer identified within the tonsils, salivary glands, liver, spleen, myocardium and gastrointestinal tracts. HEAD/NECK: Images of the brain demonstrate no suspicious CT lesions or abnormal hypermetabolic foci. No hypermetabolic or pathologically enlarged lymph nodes are seen within the head and neck region. THORAX: There are no hypermetabolic or pathologically enlarged supraclavicular, mediastinal, hilar, internal mammary or axillary lymph nodes. Similar appearance of the adjacent 6 mm nodules in the region of the right middle lobe near the minor fissure. No abnormal metabolism is seen, although the nodules are below the threshold for FDG PET/CT tracer uptake. No pulmonary lesions specific for malignancy. ABDOMEN/PELVIS: Nonhypermetabolic subcentimeter hepatic hypodense foci statistically represents cysts. The comparison CT urogram is used to localize the region of the tumor in the posterior bladder status post transurethral resection.. Background marked tracer excretion in the urinary bladder is significantly greater than the metabolism in the region of the posterior bladder. The approximate area of the tumor measures 3 x 2 cm with homogeneous metabolism and SUV of 4.0 (image 243). There is a right-sided bladder diverticulum.. No hypermetabolic or pathologically enlarged mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymph nodes are seen. There is no ascites. The bowel is unremarkable without evidence for abnormal focal metabolic uptake or obstruction. No pathologically enlarged or hypermetabolic pelvic lymph nodes are seen. MUSCULOSKELETAL: No hypermetabolic or aggressive appearing osseous lesions are seen. IMPRESSION/COMPARISON: 1. Homogeneous relatively low metabolism within the region of the posterior bladder malignancy with SUV of 4.0. No suspicious asymmetric metabolism status post transurethral resection. 2. No suspicious lymph nodes or findings specific for distant metastasis. 3. The adjacent 6 mm pulmonary nodules near the right middle lobe are below the size threshold for PET CT detection, although are probably sequela of chronic changes. Recommend follow-up CT of the chest without contrast versus FDG PET/CT in 3-6 months to confirm stability and exclude less likely metastasis. COMMENTS: PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A COMBINED PET/CT INTERPRETATION. IF THE REFERRING PHYSICIAN WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE INTERPRETING RADIOLOGIST, PLEASE CALL 310-966-8506.
