Cancer Survivors Discuss Late Effects of Radiation - Top Docs Radio

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.

Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention Discussion – Top Docs Radio

Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention Discussion - Top Docs Radio

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).

Wounded Warriors with PTSD — Dick Caillouet of Safari Club International talks about their humanitarian program for wounded warriors suffering with PTSD.

In this episode we learned about Safari Club International and the humanitarian outreach program they offer for wounded warriors who are suffering from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). This program collaborates with the wounded warrior evaluation program at Fort Benning to identify veterans who are suffering significant decreased quality of life due to PTSD. They bring them together with other similar veterans and a group of professionals and volunteers to take them on excursions to let them experience nature and positive, compassionate people who help to show them that there is value and hope in their lives; that they can return to a life that is closer to “normal” for them. In this way these veterans begin to regain a sense of worth and purpose to carry on in spite of their past traumatic experiences.

As a non-profit organization, this program relies heavily on financial support from corporate sponsors who can help them expand the project and allow them to reach and help more of these heroes. Great guest and information.
