friend has osteogenic sarcoma had below knee amputation 4 days ago. she is already home and has a prosthetic. what happens now? they removed all tumor

Question

Hi i'm a 46 year old woman who was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma in left foot amputated below knee. What does the swollen lympnode left side neck?

Answer 1

Routine F/U: Your friend will need routine follow up with the surgeon, oncologist and prosthetic personel.

Answer 2

Rehabilitation: Now she has to have rehabilitation and learn how to walk.

Answer 3

Yes: This is a class c drug so there are some possible effects on the fetus. However, if you are on this drug then not taking it while pregnant can cause more problems for the baby. You should never stop this class of medications without taking to you infectious disease doctor first. It is vitally important that you stay on your meds so that you stay healthy and the baby does not become infected.

Answer 4

Adverse rxn possible: When pregnant or breast feeding, why take a drug that has a 27% fatigue and malaise side effect incidence?

Answer 5

Yes: Having been in this situation, i can tell you that balancing out hormones in men is just as important as doing so for women. Men lose their sex drive, become Insulin resistant, lose their vitality. I'll post a page later that describes my own personal treatment success. I feel great at almost 52 years of age.

Answer 6

Very simular: Signs of decreasing testosterone levels include generalized fatigue, easier fatigueability, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, depression, and decreased cognitive function. Testosterone product begins on average to decrease by 1 to 3% per annum from about age thirty. After appropiate labs, including a total and free testosterone, and psa, supplimentation can be very benefical

Answer 7

Maybe: With hormone replacement for menopausal women, we have both observational & randomized controlled trials (rcts). The former give us hypotheses while the latter demonstrate cause & effect. We have lots of observational studies suggesting higher testosterone is better (lower all-cause, cardiovascular & cancer mortality). Short-term rcts haven't teased out all risks & benefits yet.

Answer 8

Yes and No: Men do not usually go through complete hormonal shutdown like women do in menopause. While it is normal to decrease a little, especially in your free testosterone, some men have greater drops and need treatment.For more: www.Peedoc.Com @thepeedoc.

Answer 9

Yes, but...: Men have andropause, which is the male equivalent of menopause. Tthe reference range for testosterone is large, so many men who need testosterone are not being treated by their physicians. "normal" is not optimal. Symptoms of low testosterone include fatigue, belly fat, high cholesterol, depression, low sex drive, ed, decreased mental sharpness, irritabile and/or anxious mood, etc.

Answer 10

Get tested: If you have high risk sexual behavior or use IV illicit drugs, get tested. Don't wait for symptoms because you might not have them until really late. Only one lymph node is not very dangerous but i would have a consultation with the physician to be on the safe side.

Answer 11

You have alot: Going on so instead of speculating what you may or may not have a complete history. Physical and bloodwork is in order with an internist.

Answer 12

Monitoring Centers: Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into the arteries/veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph for anything bad like bacteria/viruses/cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts. They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react. They shrink when all is well.

Answer 13

Numb the mouth: Anything that will decrease the pain in the mouth will help her drink. Ice cold foods act as a local anesthesia as they numb the area. Try popsicles, ice cream, jello, as well as pedialyte popsicles that will keep her hydrated. Also oragel will help. As it is a viral disease, there is no antibiotics that will help it. It will go away on its own.

Answer 14

None: Although it is uncomfortable hand, foot and mouth disease is typical benign and fairly brief in duration.

Answer 15

Rheumatoid: She should be seen by a rheumatologist and placed on the appropriate medications pain medication and anti-inflammatory medication. Physical therapy may or may not be part of the treatment as well.

Answer 16

Need Rheumatologist: A good rheumatologist can do a thorough history and exam recommend the proper treatment (e.g. Meds, injections, surgery...).
