Dad still on ventilator with no improvement
Hi, I have just recently joined this site to find some hope in the current situation I am in (and many others are in) and not sure what to do. My dad (66 yrs) has been in ICU for around 5 weeks and on a ventilator. Overall his health and lifestyle was generally good and he was active in the run up to

Is a sore throat a GCA symptom?
I’m writing this for my mother and apologies in advance for the lengthy explanation. My mother was diagnosed with PMR in November. We think she probably had it for sometime but as my father was receiving full time palliative care at home we were not as aware of her health issues as my dad was so poorly

PRD after IMRT?
Has anyone here developed PRD after intensity-modulated RT given in the last few years? I am wondering if the incidence is truly sharply lower with the more refined RT of recent use

Information about spinal cord compression.
Has anyone experienced a spinal cord compression or fracture? Can you share your experiences. Has anyone experienced what it means to prevent one. We know that getting an MRI to show the urgency of treatment is one thing and then the mention of surgery. We don't know what that means. Who handles this

ADT + SBRT + IMRT treatment for Unfavorable Intermediate Risk PCa
Tall_Allen, This is a follow up to a previous threat I started regarding my path to treatment. I followed your prompt to talk to Dr. Gottschalk at UCSF, and I’m glad I did. Our conversation did change things. He recommends SBRT/IMRT & 4 months ADT! He will do SBRT, and IMRT will be done by Dr. Valicenti

Proton Radiation to Thoracic Vertebra
I seem to have a recurrence after 2006 seeds and IMRT. After an Axumin scan, rhPSMA scan, and whole-body mpMRI, the only spot found is on the left pedicle (a small bone off the back of the vertebra) of the T8 vertebra. I am completely asymptomatic. My RO does both SBRT and Proton. I told him I felt the

Study shows hyaluronan is effective in treating chronic lung disease.
Utilized as a treatment, hyaluronan shortened the amount of time COPD patients in
intensive
care
needed breathing support, decreased their number of days in the hospital, and saved money by reducing their hospital stay.

Considering HDR Brachy, any recommendations for doctors in the San Francisco Bay Area?
Met with one Dr. who recommended one day HDR Brachy and 5 weeks IMRT. Hearing CarverD's positive experience and noting slightly higher cure rates than EBRT, I want to take a closer look at this option. Any recommendations for doctors who specialize in this located in the San Francisco Bay Area?

Reassurance and support meningitis

. I already struggled with mental health that had gotten worse due to the pandemic and the uncertainty that it has created in my life.

Food and nutrition for CLL
There are lots of things you can do with food and nutrition. My husband has CLL we were told there was nothing to do but wait and watch. Then 4 months later it transformed into a brain tumor. I was told to take him home and start palliative care. I started him on a crazy juicing program and we
