Editor’s pick: Unintended consequence of radiation therapy — subsequent surgeries become risky. Plus: research into mushrooms — and a fanatic who had one of us chickening out and turning tail.
Topics Discussed
Patient who got radiation now needs organ repair after a damaging kidney stone treatment — but surgeon is pessimistic because of scarring, plus a bladder growth is discovered; kidney stone sufferers feel the pain; too many mushrooms — and do they even work?; turkey tail fanatic holds Dr. A hostage; hot-flash sufferer turns successfully to acupuncture; bowel problems after radiation; Gleason 9 with PSA of 1; beware colonoscopy if there’s bowel problems; old prostatectomy and new PSA rise; how high a PSA before salvage?; types of lung biopsy; cloak of secrecy getting yanked after he tells pharma reps of side effects; doc explains ADT duration for salvage; cancer patients OK with Medicare Advantage?; paying back to AnCan.
