100-3026 - What I drank with my dinner

Here is another random sketch of something from the fridge. I have a few prostate issues and my doctor recommends eating tomatoes – some studies (note that not all agree) say that the high levels of the anti-oxidant lycopene can help reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Tue-11-Mar-2025

How to avoid prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer is a common concern among men, especially those over 50, but it can often be avoided by adopting a healthy lifestyle. Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants, staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol can significantly lower the risk. Regular screenings, especially for those with a family history, are crucial for early detection and prevention. Consulting the Best Prostate Cancer Oncologist in Delhi NCR can provide expert advice on preventive measures, lifestyle modifications, and the most effective screening methods tailored to individual health needs.

From my sister in the group text:

Good morning family. I’m not feeling well still. I just got a prescription for antibiotics for strep throat.

I have informed dad’s doctor and they will be testing him.

Just and update: Dad has been ornery, stubborn and very difficult since arriving home. Please be aware that dad requires at least a two person crew. You will need additional partners/helpers when you are with him. Pls plan accordingly. Great opportunity for you and the other members of your family to spend time with him! He tries to get up without any one and he’s still very wobbly.

What Dad may have

Post-Hospital Syndrome:
This term refers to the increased risk of rehospitalization, readmission to the hospital, or death within the first few weeks after discharge. 

Anxiety and Fear:

Patients may experience anxiety about their health, the future, and their ability to cope with daily life

Frustration and Anger:

Patients may feel frustrated with their inability to regain their former level of function, or angry about the delays and challenges they face during and after their hospitalization

Changes in Self-Perception:
Patients may struggle with their identity and self-esteem, as their ability to perform everyday tasks is limited by their illness and the effects of the hospitalization. 


Post-hospital syndrome is caused, in part, by ongoing effects of the original illness. For example, someone who has been hospitalized for pneumonia may experience lingering fatigue, reduced strength, foggy thinking, or constipation after leaving the hospital.



N said she will take him to Urology tomorrow. I will message them to order a urinalysis also. We can help N to bring him.

Because of dad’s status, I think we will unfortunately have to miss the viewing Thursday. N’s mother in law

However Friday, we don’t have coverage for dad but plan on bringing him pending his wellness that day. A and partners we will need you around 5pm for coverage.

Saturday, we will be needing D and partners in the morning and until late night to watch M’s show in Irvine.

Sunday, we will try to bring dad to church but afterwards we will need P and partners for coverage.

Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the prostate gland, which is a small gland located in the male reproductive system. The prostate gland produces a fluid that helps nourish and transport sperm.

For expert care, consult Dr. Gaurav Kasat, a leading urologist and prostate cancer specialist in Navi Mumbai. If you're experiencing symptoms like frequent urination, pain during urination, blood in urine or semen, erectile dysfunction, or pelvic/lower back pain—don’t delay. Early detection can make all the difference.

Revolutionizing Aortic Stenosis Care with a Successful TAVI Procedure

The Cardiology team at PACE Hospitals successfully performed a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) to replace a narrowed or damaged aortic valve. This minimally invasive procedure treats aortic stenosis by implanting a new valve, offering an alternative to open-heart surgery while reducing complications.

Chief Complaints

A 70-year-old female patient presented to the cardiology department, at PACE Hospitals, Hitech City, Hyderabad, with complaints of a known case of severe aortic stenosis was admitted for the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure to treat the condition.

Medical History

The patient had a known medical history of hypertension and thyroid disorder.

General examination

Upon admission to PACE Hospitals, the patient's vital signs were stable. On general examination, the patient was conscious and coherent. The cardiovascular system (CVS) showed normal heart sounds (S1, S2+). The respiratory system (RS) demonstrated bilateral air entry (BAE+) with normal vocal breath sounds (NVBS). The central nervous system (CNS) was non-focal with no detected deficits (NFND) (no specific localized neurological deficits or abnormalities were observed). Physical examination of the abdomen (P/A) indicated a soft and non-tender condition.

Diagnosis

Following a comprehensive examination, the patient was identified as a known case of severe aortic stenosis and had previously undergone Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) to replace the diseased valve and restore normal blood flow. The patient was admitted for a repeat TAVI procedure due to recurring symptoms.

To confirm the condition, doctors conducted a series of diagnostic tests and diagnosed the patient with Degenerative Aortic Valve Disease, a condition marked by progressive narrowing and dysfunction of the aortic valve due to age-related calcification.

3. Bring a Support Person

Having a trusted friend or family member with you can be invaluable. They can help take notes, ask additional questions, and provide emotional support during the appointment.

Your first appointment will be packed with information. Writing down questions beforehand ensures you don’t forget to ask important ones. Below are some key questions to consider.

Questions to Ask Your Oncologist

Don’t hesitate to ask for clarification if you don’t understand something.

Request written materials or websites for additional information.

After Your Appointment

Review your notes and discuss them with your support person.

Sunday 4/27/25

8:15AM. Care (of my father) notes so far:

04/25/2025

Normal meds. Started Erleada. Finished oatmeal.

N came over. I took little R to urgent care. Got meds. Went to work.

Finished Lauya. Lunch.

4pm- radiation.

5pm-P came. Made him burger. 🍔 finished. Napped.

No poop.

Meds. Acted kinda weird. Mimicking me and trying to get a rise out of me. I just kept on going.

Bedtime. Bed bath with wipes and moisturizer ointment.

04/26/2025-

630am asked me to empty his bag. Emptied and went back to bed. Called me again. Got him up around 8am.

Meds. Forgot mylanta. Finished Ube Champorado.

12:30pm: Woke up and moved to the living room. Insisted on sitting on the couch. Asked for lunch. I told him there was no rice for the lauya. He asked for it without rice.

Watching OKC vs. Memphis

1:15pm: he asked about J’s mom. I told him she passed.

3:20pm: big poop. Back to the couch

After he ate R followed him back to the bed to take a nap. N arrived. Still napping when we left.

Not long after this entry, all the home care notes were deleted from the “shared notes”. There is a “new notes” that is blank. C probably figure out that I have been copying the notes to post elsewhere. I have copied all the notes to a journaling app. So glad I had backed these up.

C doesn’t have to stress about this. I did not share this with the monster.

Open Radical Prostatectomy for Prostate Adenocarcinoma (Cancer)

A 62-year-old male presented with poor urine flow and was diagnosed with clinically localized adenocarcinoma of the prostate. He underwent an open radical prostatectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection. Postoperatively, he had transient hypotension and lower limb weakness but recovered well and was discharged in a stable condition.

Chief Complaints

A 62-year-old male patient presented to the Urology Department of PACE Hospitals, Hyderabad, with complaints of progressive decline in urine flow over time, which became increasingly noticeable and concerning.

Medical History

The patient was a known case of hypertension, which was being effectively managed with appropriate antihypertensive medications. There were no other significant comorbidities reported, and the patient did not mention any history of cardiovascular, metabolic, or renal disorders that could contribute to the current urological symptoms.

Clinical Investigations

Clinical investigations revealed a Gleason score of 5+5 on a TRUS-guided biopsy, indicating a high-grade and aggressive prostate malignancy. The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) index was significantly elevated at 25 ng/ml. MRI findings showed a right-sided lesion extending to the apex of the prostate gland from its base, suggestive of locally advanced disease. Moreover, a swollen right external iliac lymph node was found.

Diagnosis

Based on the clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and histopathological findings, the patient was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the prostate. The disease was clinically localized and classified as cT2, indicating confinement to the prostate without evidence of extracapsular extension.

PSMA PET-CT findings were negative for distant metastases, which confirms that the malignancy remained localized without systemic spread. These findings guided the formulation of an appropriate treatment plan tailored to the patient's disease stage and overall health status.

Medical Decision Making (MDM)

Based on the diagnosis, Consultant Laparoscopic Urologist, Endourologist, Andrologist & Kidney Transplant Surgeon, Dr. Abhik Debnath decided to perform an open radical prostatectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection under general anesthesia.

Surgical Procedure

An open radical prostatectomy was performed using a lower midline incision with an extraperitoneal approach. Bilateral external iliac lymph nodes were enlarged, necessitating thorough dissection, along with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection for optimal cancer clearance. 

Early control of the dorsal venous complex minimized intraoperative bleeding. A good membranous urethral length was preserved for continence, with wide clearance on the right and probable neurovascular bundle (NVB) preservation on the left. Vesicourethral anastomosis was secured with eight watertight sutures. 

A pelvic drain was placed, and the incision was closed in layers. The patient was then transferred to the recovery unit for close monitoring.
