Had a Coloanal Anastomosis with protectomy procedure, need another PET scan?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

My dad who is 55 had Coloanal Anastomosis with protectomy procedure 4 weeks back due to the malignant differential adenocarcinoma in lower 1/3rd rectum. It was not invasive and PET scan was clear for any other area.

Since the surgery, he has become very weak and not feel like eating anything. He has type-2 diabeties as well since last 3 years.
He has temporary illestomy as rectum and a part of colon has been removed, which the Surgeon said will be removed after 6-8 weeks or later depending on healing.

I am not sure if this much weakness is OK?

Also, along with the Ostomy bag on his right side, there are two holes in the left, one for catheter and another for mucus drain. 2 days back they have removed mucus drain but we see mucus leaking from that. I am not sure if that is normal or not.

As per surgeon, his wound is healing well and he should be moving around but its very difficult for him to move more than 10 mins.

Do we need to have another PET in few weeks to understand if we need Radiotherapy or Chemo ?

I’m having issues with my bladder, please advise?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

It seems i’m having issues with my bladder! I have always been one for regularity in going to the toilet especially when drinking it becomes more regular in fact every 5 minutes, however over the past 2 years when out on the town i’m still wanting to go to the toilet but only urinating small amounts, and when i go to sleep i’m up regularly having the same symptoms of still urinating in small amounts.

I went to my local Dr. and had a prostate examination and that was confirmed as clear, so i need to know what could be causing this issue.

I suddenly feel extreme shortness of breath, dizziness, vertigo,sharp heaviness in skull, neck, anxiety and panic?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Hi Dr…I don’t have asthma..but whenever I drink a very cold/chilled beverage or even sit in air conditioner, I suddenly feel extreme shortness of breath, dizziness, vertigo,sharp heaviness in skull, neck, anxiety and panic. Now, this continues for many hours and feels like i will surely pass out or even die. I have seen doctors for heart valves issues but he said its fine. I have tried inhalers and beta-blockers, EFT tapping, drink hot liquids etc but there is no benefit. I once had attack in plane and it was horrible. My lungs test was absolutely fine. I am very puzzled. Im around 30 yr old man with no major illness. If possible, could you please suggest something. thanks.

My husband has a non-small-cell lung cancer nodule in right/remaining lung?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

7 years ago my husband had a left side pneumonectomy for non-small-cell lung cancer.
Yesterday the doctor told us that his latest CT scan shows a nodule in the right/remaining lung.
What percent chance is it, that the nodule is NOT cancerous?
If it is – will this be treated as a recurrence or as a new cancer?
How will this be treated? Will chemo therapy be effective?

I’m worried that this mole could be skin cancer?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Hello. I’m worried that this mole could be skin cancer??? My dad is the one that has this. He says that when he pushes down on it, it feels like a nail going through. I’m also not sure if the mole has gotten bigger over the years. This mole, however, is hard & doesn’t feel fleshy at all. Please send me your opinion on this mole. Thank you.
