Forgive any typos. But this isn't something I thought I'd have to do.

I guess first I start on an update with this situation here. We figured out how to get the house into our name. It'll take about 7 months. My aunt went above and beyond to make it happen. I'm grateful for that.

But, there has been another brick thrown at us. @jeweltonejules is my spouse.

Now... Let's start with a timeline.

Beginning of September, both my spouse and I caught Covid. Once recovered we noticed my spouse had a swollen lymphnode. We decided to tell their PCP about it at the next appointment if it never went away,

November 2024 Jules saw their PCP who noticed the lymphnode was massive and got an ultrasound scheduled.

December 2024 The ultrasound was done. It revealed the growth to be a tumor. A large one with blood vessels. A biopsy was scheduled.

January 2025 Jules went to the biopsy appointment. The Doctor noted it was so large and in such a bad spot that they decide to schedule surgery then and there out of an abundance of caution.

February 13th the surgery was done and not one, but two lymphnode tumors were removed and sent to biopsy.

February 19th Jules is called in to go over the results from the biopsy and check on the wound in their neck. They are diagnosed with Metastatic Squamous Cell carcinoma. A cancer that came from somewhere else in the body. But it at best is stage 2 at worst stage 3.

We are currently awaiting a call from the ENT Specialist at Vanderbilt because they believe the cancer is in that area.

This diagnosis has completely devastated us and our families. We are aware of how costly chemo and radiation can be and the risks it holds.

We already live paycheck to paycheck and are hoping to raise money to help us pay for treatment and pay off any debt we possibly can. The less debt we have the more money we have to go towards treatment as well. Especially if Jules loses their job. Donations will go into savings first and foremost.

Donate HERE if you want to see updates consistently and watch a meter go up.

Otherways to Donate here! if not for what's to come I'd offer commissions. But, I will be taking as much overtime as I can at work.

And of course: This is our list of debt. So, you know EXACTLY what money will be going to outside of medical treatment!

$700 in credit card debt (Cards will be retired.) CLEARED!

$1,800 medical debt (Currently) Not a main concern because of how fast its growing.

$8,600 auto debt

$58,000 Mortgage (This includes a loan we got to fix a massive issue with the floors.)

We know we are asking for a miracle, but it's all we can do at the moment.

We will be updating as we get more information.

All donations are going into a savings account currently. When we get an official number we will add it.

Mental Health Support for Uro-Oncology Patients

Mental Health Support for Uro-Oncology Patients

When facing uro-oncology conditions, which include cancers of the urinary system and male reproductive organs, patients often deal with more than just physical challenges. Emotional and mental health play a critical role in the healing journey. Addressing these aspects can improve overall well-being and make medical treatments more effective.

In this blog, we’ll discuss the importance of mental health support for uro-oncology patients and how they can find help, feel better, and lead fulfilling lives despite the challenges.

Why Mental Health Matters During Cancer Treatment

A diagnosis of uro-oncological cancer can bring about feelings of fear, sadness, anxiety, and even anger. These emotions are natural responses to the uncertainty of what lies ahead. However, when such emotions go unchecked, they can lead to depression, stress, or even a lack of motivation to follow through with treatment plans. Here are some key reasons why mental health support is essential:

Improved Treatment Outcomes:Research shows that patients with a positive outlook are more likely to adhere to their treatments and recover faster.

Better Coping Mechanisms:Mental health support equips patients with tools to handle stress and make informed decisions.

Enhanced Quality of Life:Addressing mental health ensures patients enjoy meaningful moments despite their diagnosis.

Common Emotional Challenges Faced by Uro-Oncology Patients

Body Image Concerns:Treatments may lead to changes in appearance or physical functions, impacting self-esteem.

Fear of Recurrence:Even after successful treatment, the fear of cancer returning can linger.

Impact on Relationships:Changes in physical and emotional health may strain personal relationships, including intimacy with a partner.

Social Isolation:Some patients may feel disconnected from friends or family, especially if they’re unable to engage in regular activities.

Ways to Support Mental Health During Uro-Oncology Treatment

Patients can take several steps to maintain their emotional well-being during treatment. These strategies are simple yet highly effective:

Seek Professional Counseling:Therapists who specialize in oncology can help patients process emotions, set goals, and develop coping strategies.

Join Support Groups:Connecting with others who have faced or are facing similar challenges fosters a sense of belonging and understanding.

Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques:Practices such as meditation, yoga, and deep breathing exercises can reduce stress and promote mental clarity.

Engage in Physical Activity:Even light exercises like walking or stretching can release endorphins, the body’s natural mood boosters.

Nutritional Support:A balanced diet not only strengthens the body but also stabilizes mood and energy levels.

Focus on Hobbies:Activities like reading, painting, or gardening can provide a healthy distraction and bring joy to everyday life.

Open Communication:Talk openly with family, friends, or caregivers about feelings and concerns. This can prevent misunderstandings and foster stronger relationships.

World Kidney Cancer Day, 19 June 2025 | Necessity, Theme & History

Today is World Kidney Cancer Day — a global event observed every year on the third Thursday of June. In 2025, that’s June 19th! This day, initiated by the International Kidney Cancer Coalition, aims to raise awareness, share knowledge, and support those affected by kidney cancer.

Necessity of World Kidney Cancer Day (WKCD)

Did you know kidney cancer is the 14th most prevalent cancer in the world? In 2020, over 430,000 people were diagnosed globally, and sadly, more than 179,000 lost their lives. Men are more commonly affected, and the most frequent type—renal cell carcinoma—accounts for over 90% of adult kidney cancers. Early detection and expert care from the Best Oncologists in Hyderabad, India can make a significant difference in outcomes for patients.

Measures to Reduce the Risk of Kidney Cancer

There’s no guaranteed way to prevent kidney cancer, but you can lower your risk by:

Maintaining a healthy BMI

Avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol

Managing blood pressure and blood sugar

Eating a balanced, low-fat diet

Avoiding excessive use of painkillers

Staying physically active

Importance of World Kidney Cancer Day World Kidney Cancer Day is a vital global initiative dedicated to raising awareness about kidney cancer, which is the 14th most common cancer worldwide. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people are diagnosed, and the disease often goes unnoticed until it reaches advanced stages. The day serves as a crucial reminder of the need to educate the public about risk factors such as smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, and chronic kidney disease, as well as the importance of early detection.

Beyond physical health, kidney cancer deeply affects patients’ mental and emotional well-being. Many face psychological stress, uncertainty about treatment, and changes in their daily lives. Studies have shown that patients with kidney cancer are at higher risk for psychological distress and even suicide, especially if they lack adequate support.

World Kidney Cancer Day not only highlights the importance of prevention and early diagnosis but also advocates for comprehensive care including psychological support for patients and their families. By spreading awareness, encouraging healthy lifestyle choices, and supporting those affected, this day aims to reduce the global burden of kidney cancer and improve the quality of life for patients everywhere.

Cancer Care: Impact of Telemedicine on Positive Health Outcome

We have all been through tough times, especially during the pandemic, and we have all realized the importance of telehealth services. By sitting in our homes, we could get all the services we want, be it for COVID-19 or cancer. Having telehealth and telemedicine services was a blessing in disguise during those tough years.

The National Cancer Institute researched the number of telehealth visits during the pandemic. The finding was based on the analysis of 25,500 telehealth visits. Out of this, more than 11,600 were diagnosed with cancer. They were getting telehealth services and were virtually consulting the clinicians. This shows that there has been an increase in the number of people who have started trusting telemedicine services.

In this article, we will be discussing the positive health outcomes of telemedicine services. However, there are some important things to consider as well. For instance, there are things you need to discuss before receiving telemedicine services. This includes scheduling an appointment and explaining the necessary in-person hospital visits, medication follow-ups, and post-treatment care.

Discussing all these can help individuals get relief from long waiting hours just to schedule their appointments or visit a doctor. During the virtual consultations, the individual also needs to understand and discuss the care plans. Both the doctors and the individuals should be informed about the diagnosis date, tumor stage, schedules, treatment facilities, nutrition, pain management, and health concerns.

Thanks to telemedicine services, no one today has to wait for longer hours and get help anytime they want. You can get professional help with a single tap all at once. Therefore, all you need to do is book your schedule.

If you are diagnosed with a terminal illness, telehealth appointments can save you time and money. In the following, we are going to look at some points to discuss how telemedicine services can help individuals diagnosed with cancer. These points will provide insight into how the healthcare industry has revolutionized faster.

Unlocking the Benefits of Telemedicine Services for Cancer Care

Living with a loved one diagnosed with cancer can turn life upside down. Treatment costs can vary depending on the type of care needed. Be it medications or a cancer care management plan, you just need the right kind of treatment that may cost money. Forget about the expenses related to travel and other medications.

That’s why telehealth services are introduced to help out loved ones with cancer care. In the following, let’s take a look at the numerous benefits of telemedicine services for people diagnosed with cancer.

Meeting Specialized Oncologist

Comprehensive care is needed in the healthcare industry. With an introduction to the telephonic healthcare industry, you get to meet the right specialized doctor for your treatment virtually. There is no need to travel long distances just to meet the doctor. Tap on the screen, get connected to a specialized oncologist virtually, and get help with medical appointments. Due to long waiting hours, there are times when individuals have to wait to get in touch with special care. Telehealth appointments with specialized healthcare professionals get easier.

Reduce Travel Time

There are times when individuals diagnosed with terminal illnesses have difficulty traveling to healthcare providers. They need enough rest and travel restrictions because of the drastic impact on their health. They may get car sickness or have chronic pain due to illnesses. However, with telehealth urgent care, time travel is reduced to some extent. The individual can get help anytime because specialized care is available and they don’t have to travel long hours. The specialized oncologists are here to help the individuals right away with treatment and care.

Regular Health Monitoring

Chronic illnesses can cause several health issues that have long-term effects. That’s why one needs regular health monitoring. However, going to medical institutions can be time-consuming and have a drastic effect on your health. The doctors keep tabs on the vital signs and the symptoms evolving because of the illnesses. That’s why telemedicine appointments can help you a great deal to check on the health of a loved one.

Getting Timely Consultations

Gone are the days when one had to wait for long hours to get a doctor’s appointment. You can simply book your medical schedule right on the phone. The virtual appointments get easier, and one can keep tabs on their health. Getting timely consultations can help you reduce the signs and symptoms of the illness and get the test results online. You don’t need to visit the healthcare center to get the results or speak to the doctor.

Improved Medications with Time

The condition of the illnesses may change over time, so you need to continuously stay updated about your medical updates and health concerns. Having improved medications and knowing about medication management can help an individual take better care of himself or herself. How so? The individual will learn about the adverse impact of medications on health, whether on the phone or online.

In Conclusion,

Telemedicine services have completely transformed the healthcare sector by reducing travel time and improving medications simply by keeping tabs on medical health help needed at times. With timely telehealth appointments, one gets timely consultations about medical health and keeps track of health monitoring.

Thanks to telemedicine services, educating individuals has never been so easy. Today, millions of people have been taking advantage of telemedicine in the long run. Indubitable telemedicine services, in the coming times, will gain extra support from the government and the people as well.

When it comes to cancer care, telehealth counseling can help you save a lot of time and money because you don’t need to wait for prolonged hours. This helps your body get enough rest and provides mental health support in times of utmost need.

What Is Nephroureterectomy and When Is It Needed?

Just like a garden hose that carries water, two thin tubes in the body called ureters carry urine from each kidney down to a storage bag called the bladder. When something bad grows in both a kidney and its ureter — often a type of cancer — doctors may suggest a special surgery called nephroureterectomy. Let us explore what this big word means, why it is done, and when it can help.

Word Breakdown: NephroUreteroEctomy

· Nephro = kidney

· Uretero = ureter

· Ectomy = removal

So, nephroureterectomy means removing the kidney and the ureter together. At a Urologist in Ahmedabad — especially in a trusted Urology Hospital in Ahmedabad like Gujarat Uro Oncology — this surgery is done very carefully using robotic or open methods.

When Is Nephroureterectomy Needed?

This surgery is needed if strong evidence shows that there is cancer in both the kidney and the ureter on the same side. This is often an upper tract urothelial carcinoma. A Urologist in Ahmedabad checks:

· Imaging tests (like CT scans or MRI) to see the tumor

· Urine tests to look for cancer cells

· Biopsy, where a tiny tissue sample is taken through a tiny camera

If cancer appears in both places, removing the kidney and ureter helps stop it from spreading. This is important because cancer in one part often travels to the other. After removal, a pathologist examines the tissue to decide if extra treatment is needed.

Types of Nephroureterectomy

1. Radical Nephroureterectomy (Open)

o A single cut is made to remove both the kidney and ureter with some bladder tissue.

o Done when large tumors or complicated cases exist.

2. Laparoscopic or Robotic Nephroureterectomy

o Small cuts, a camera, and robotic arms are used.

o Great for less pain and faster recovery.

o Gujarat Uro Oncology Associates delivers this modern care at their Urology Hospital in Ahmedabad, guided by leading Urologists in Ahmedabad.

3. Segmental Ureterectomy

o Only a part of the ureter is removed, and the kidney stays.

o Used when the kidney is healthy and the tumor is small.

Why Choose Nephroureterectomy?

· Strongest chance to remove all cancer at once

· ✅ Stops cancer from spreading along the urinary path

· Helps doctors decide on followup treatments like chemo or radiation

· Helps monitor how much cancer was present and how fast it might grow

What Happens on Surgery Day?

1. Before Surgery

o Routine blood tests, scans, and filling out forms

o Visits with a general doctor and the surgical team

2. During Surgery

o General anaesthesia is given

o Kidney and ureter removed carefully

o Bladder cuff also removed for safety

3. After Surgery

o Hospital stay for 3–5 days

o Pain relief and drainage tubes to help healing

o Eating and walking slowly after 1–2 days

4. Recovery at Home

o Drink lots of water to help the body heal

o Small dressing changes and light movement

o Return to regular activities over 4��6 weeks

5. FollowUp

o Imaging (CT scan or MRI) in 3–6 months

o Urine tests to check for cancer

o Guidance from Urologist in Ahmedabad at Gujarat Uro Oncology

Who Needs Nephroureterectomy?

· When cancer appears in both kidney and ureter

· Tumor is aggressive, or there are repeated bladder cancers

· Part of larger cancer treatment or when the kidney no longer works well

A skilled team at Gujarat Uro Oncology will check kidney health, overall health, and what other doctors suggest before deciding.

Why Choosing Gujarat Uro Oncology Is a Good Idea

Wrapping Up

It may feel big, but when guided by the right Urologist in Ahmedabad at a strong Urology Hospital in Ahmedabad, it offers a safe path to beating cancer. The robotic-assisted methods help reduce pain and speed up healing.
