12 weeks after my 1st Radiation Therapy Treatment for my Ledderhose Disease (Dupuytren's Disease)

On the Monday starting the 12th week after my 1st radiation therapy, I am back in Tampa for my second session of RT with Lawrence Hochman, RO. http://floridacancer.com/physicians/lawrence-hochman-do-facro/   I am feeling none of the anxiousness I felt prior.  I know what to expect.  OR, I should say, I know to expect nothing.  That's a good thing!

I returned with some reservations about getting this second round of RT.  I felt I had enough pain relief that I really considered not having this second session.  It was explained to me that I needed it.  It was explained that round 1 was like taking 1/2 your dose of antibiotics and round 2 was finishing up the antibiotics.  The only reason I had such reservations is because I only get these two sessions of RT for life.  I was wondering if I should "save" this second session for the future if I needed it. Needless to say, I returned and I am so thankful months later that I did!http://www.dupuytrensdiseasesupport.com/


I completed my week of radiation therapy with nothing to report.  It takes appx 45 seconds per foot to administer the RT.  Dr. Hochman's team is an "on-time" group.  My appointment was at 9:30 am and at that time I was already in the room having my treatment and by 9:40 I am out the door.

The team took a look at my fibromas and felt them.  The large one is still there and can be seen and felt with a little less of a pointed stone on the top. The smaller ones are so small they are well under the skin.

I continue my RT-vacation with my water sock, keeping my foot out of the chlorine and sun.  We did take a kayak trip this time and did quiet a bit of vacation looking in Tarpon Springs, Weeki Watchi, Clearwater Beach and any other spot that looked interesting.  Who would want to miss this?

I cannot stress enough to you how I connected to the Facebook forum DART - Dupuytren's Advocates for Radiation Therapy.  It was this group that got me to where I am and I want to continue to be part of the Dupuytren's and Ledderhose Community and give back.  I wouldn't want anyone to suffer as I did with this disease.  If you do not belong to a Support Group, I strongly suggest you join us at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1622748151282109/

  2. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future in jectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because I have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but I still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr JAMES Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from ACUTE MYELOFIBROSIS, ALZHEIMER's symptoms, BREAST CANCER, DIABETES, HAIR LOSS AND HAIR TREATMENT, KIDNEY DISEASES, LEUKEMIA, MYELOID LEUKEMIA, STEM CELL TREATMENT,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
