Cancer Survivors Discuss Late Effects of Radiation

Cancer Survivors

This week I am joined by two cancer survivors who successfully beat their cancers but ended up as part of the group of patients who have problems where they received radiation therapy, called “late effects of radiation”. For most patients who experience these issues the symptoms they experience get better with a few weeks of time and conservative measures. But for some, they persist and can have significant impact on quality of life. The symptoms these patients experience depend upon where the radiation was administered on to the body. They can include non-healing wounds on the gums, sometimes exposing the jaw bone (mandible), necrosis (cell death) of the jaw bone, breast pain, chronic diarrhea, bleeding with urination or bowel movements, bladder pain, painful bowel movements, and sensations of urinary and/or bowel frequency and urgency. Hear how they were able to successfully treat their late effects of radiation with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Dick Cailouet and Dan Dodson, cancer survivors who are among the group who experienced late effects of radiation.

Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention Discussion

Multi-Specialty Discussion On Prevention of Amputation

TOPIC:

Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention

In the US alone there are over 20,000 lower extremity amputations per month. As many as 68% of them have not had a basic vascular study to determine if revascularization could help save the leg. This week I’ll talk with Dr. Mohammad Sharif of Village Podiatry Centers, Dr. Doug Redd of Advanced Vascular Resources, and Dr. David Schwegman of Hyperbaric Physicians of Georgia. They’ll be discussing the multi-specialty team approach that is necessary for the best outcomes in patients with limb-threatening wounds. They will talk about important things patients need to know about. This includes things such as how important it is to have a vascular study to see if peripheral vascular disease (PAD) is present. It is important to know that simply checking pulses is not effective enough when lower extremity amputation is a potential outcome. Patients with risk factors for lower extremity amputation need to be followed by a foot & ankle specialist such as a DPM for care along with a certified wound specialist (not just a doctor or nurse who does wound care).
