I am 92 years old and was diagnosed with M Gus in 2014. This year my diagnosis changed to multi myeloma and I started on Chemotherapy. After three treatments I completely lost the use of my legs and now I am afraid to go back to the Chemotherapy. Dorothy
Thank you, Dr. Huffman, for shedding light on the complexities of gastrointestinal cancer treatment. As a fellow health RU-vidr, I appreciate the emphasis on personalized medicine and the importance of multidisciplinary approaches in managing these cases. It's crucial for patients to understand the role of genetic testing in tailoring treatment plans, as it can significantly impact outcomes. Additionally, I found your insights on the latest advancements in immunotherapy particularly enlightening. For anyone watching, I encourage you to stay informed about clinical trials, as they can offer access to cutting-edge treatments. Thank you for your dedication to educating the public on such an important topic!
My son and daughter were recently told they also have Lynch Syndrome. They are both in their 40’s with good jobs and insurance. My question is will having Lynch affect their insurance?
Ok, technically if surgery leaves the 2 nerves intact, yes. One nerve controls erection, the other controls ejection. I was warned before surgery to store sperm because my tumor was extensive, I didn’t. My surgeon warned that I could lose both nerves. He saved the erection nerve, but not the ejaculation nerve. The left testicle was also removed. So…is this Doctor telling it straight? I vote NO. In my case. You have been warned by an actual survivor.
May I add a new one ? I am not a clone of the Dr. House T V character. but today ,22 9 24, I have seen a television interview where i saw a very worrying sign that am CERTAIN is early warning of a frontal midline tumour. I AM NOT A DOCTOR but i have seen newspaper photo of a blaze of white hair on a forehead., she was dead within maybe 2 years. back track data to support (or deny ) such a sign . It is in your hands now............. I want NOTHING to do with this any more
Treated at msk for squamous cell penile cancer. Hpv related. Stage 2, 5 stages of moh’s surgery and uretha reconstructed. Are there any studies or clinical trials to enter? Not enough tissue for Natera blood detection, so only pelvic mri every 3 months. Oncologist did not suggest TIPS chemotherapy. Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Agreed, I just realized that Mario updated his favorite way to tackle ED and it's crazy! Although what he previously talked about was pretty decent, it was difficult to follow, I just go'ogled the latest by Mario Volpstein, it's so much simpler and potent now!
I feel very weak. I have headache tingling for months, first it came and went and now it is constant. I struggle with insomnia for a long time but this week I keep waking up 2-4 hours after sleeping with pressure in my head and in fight or flight mode. This happen for 4 days now and even without this strange sensation in my head I feel my body may collapse from lack of sleep... I lay in bed as i write this after sleeping for only 2 and a half hours the only thing i can do is sob I'm only 24 I never thought I would have to deal with this please help me edit: sometimes your intuition isn't just anxiety despite what some doctors sah and your body tells you something is wrong. I found out I have a prolactinoma today. I have pain meds and sleep aids to help sleep through the pain.I am so happy that at least I know what is happening to me and it's a benign tumor that won't kill me and I will be able to take meds to control it and mitigate pain.
Thank you for this video. Was very helpful for me in learning about this. My mother was diagnosed this week and we are all shocked, scared and not sure what to do. She will be starting some Daratumumab on Friday
Ahora diganme.. si la vacuna es necesaria, respondanme "para qué es necesaria?" "para estar vacunado" osea cual es la razón... pobres, borregos poniendose la vacuna y sean como sean, son ganado para Gates y sus amos.
Most of us don't know the power of herbs, let alone how they have a positive impact on health. That's why Drapalahealing on RU-vid will always remain in my heart for completely curing my herpes infection with his herbal medicine.

As a MSH2 patient with Lynch I appreciate the collaborative efforts your hospital is making for Lynch Syndrome patients. So many of us struggle to find doctors educated on our syndrome and feel very concerned.
What a wonderful story! My husband was diagnosed in 2010, although they were wavering between MM and MDS. He was on a couple of different chemos and having blood transfusions every 10 days to 2 weeks. Then they tried Velcade... no more transfusions! Stayed on that for a couple of years, weaning down to a maintenance dose. This coming February will mark 10 yrs off all treatment in remission. He never had a transplant but they did do a stem cell harvest, just in case. Thank God for his doc at Dana Farber, Dr Jacob Laubach. I think my husband's positive attitude played a role as much as staying as healthy as possible did. Good luck and good health to you both!
