I am a 25 year old female. I was diagnosed with a primary brain tumor in June 2008 and underwent surgery to remove it. It was the size of an apple and diagnosed a grade 2 tumor. It grew back in September 2008 and that's when i began rigorous radiation and oral chemotherapy (Temozolomide). My recent MRI has showed the regrowth of the tumor to be "gone." The plan is to take the Temozolomide for 2 years along with Accutane (which helps the oral chemotherapy work better).
I recently asked a quesrion regarding a patient with a small rectal cancer that could have been treated with radiation, but the radiologist consulted with does not recommend radiation as the patient had a cobalt implant 40 years ago for cervical cancer & thinks she has had too much radiation. She is 79 years old & NEEDS TO KNOW if there is another way to treat it without surgery requiring a colostomy.
After body has immuno response, such as produce antibody and huge amount of hiv specific killer T-cells, CD4 will have slightly increase, but CD8 has more significantly increase. Positive patient has CD4/CD8 ratio <1.
Skull osteomyelitis presents with headache as the initial symptom and then as the areas of brain and cranial nerves supplying that area become involved,patient may present with variable symptoms depending on the same.
If you are having any such symptoms,then I would advise you to consult an orthopedician and get MRI of the area along with gallium bone scans.biopsy of the bone may be required to confirm the diagnosis.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and keep me posted Kind Regards.
Thanks, appreciate the information.
Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that maybe the oral contraceptive is not the best option for you. There are patches and vaginal inserts that might work better because they bypass your stomach. There are also injectable and implantable contraceptives that are very convenient to use.
Starting and stopping birth control can cause irregular bleeding, so that is not too unusual. I always recommend a pregnancy test too though, whenever the bleeding is different that expected.
Does anyone know of any good patient information or a workbook to try and reduce risk of forming another stone ?
Welcome and yes you have found the right place. My heart goes out to you because it has to be so hard to know you need surgery, but can't have it. We have SelmaS that is on here and she send's out a lot of sites and information that will help u greatly.. This question was just asked a couple of mths ago. Memory brain I don't remember what they are. I just wanted to welcome you and to let you know your not alone. I have the same worry as you as far as my daughter.
A little more information might be helpful!

The above link gives you a long list of what normal bloodwork numbers are supposed to be. Your physician is supposed to explain why you have jaundice, which is based on what some of those numbers mean if they're abnormal, along with his information from your history and symptoms and other tests he performs. A couple numbers may be off, but often it depends on how they relate to other numbers, etc., as to what they actually mean.
) getting my strength back but that is a very slow process which is requiring me to be patient; not a virtue that I posess. I have been reading quite a few of these posts and I have a great deal of compassion and sympathy for all of these people who are forced to live their lives in discomfort and with chronic pain from many of the issues they are all facing. I had no idea that so many people lived with such issues.
30 pm and I was playing a game called Unreal Tournament when it happened. First, I felt my left hand start to shake violently, then my right shortly after, I wanted to call for help, but couldn't...and that's when the panic kicked it. I felt myself slowly falling off of the chair and can't remember anything from that point, until about 12:00 am. I felt confused and scared and felt as if I was going to die. My mom and bro called the EMTs and I was taken to the hospital.
Just would like to thank Hector, Dee, Purplecat? for any and all information. I've been doing research on treatments and Clinic's and after awhile it all gets confusing but am printing off info that I send on to my Son. I've known for some time that Milk Thistle helps repair the liver and his doctor has had him taking that so he will be better prepared for the treatment which should start here pretty soon.
