Hello lovely people,

As most of you know, Dillan’s cancer didn’t go into remission after his second bone marrow transplant in December. 

Diagnosis May 2020 B Cell ALL when he was 1

Relapse August 2022 In Spinal Fluid and Bone Marrow, had Blinatumab, Full Body Radiation and a bone marrow transplant over Christmas 2022.

Relapsed again March 2023 in Spinal Fluid only, had Car T cell therapy to target his CD19 (leukemia receptor)

Relapsed again May 2023 in Bone marrow and had no further options in the UK. Flew to America with our whole family for a CD22 Car T cell therapy that was not yet approved in the UK. Then flew back to London for a second bone marrow transplant as he reached remission. This was from October 2023 to February 2024. 

Unfortunately a bone marrow test in February showed that Dillan’s leukemia is still in his bone marrow, and we were told to enjoy our time with him as his team now think his cancer cannot be cured.

I am trying an approach I’ve never been able to try before on its own, as Dillan’s always had other conventional options until now and I’m not ready to give up, neither is he.

We started our natural journey in February this year when we received the devastating news about his cancer still being there. Since the test in February, we had a new test done in march which showed the cancer had indeed gone DOWN! The most amazing news and we need to keep doing what we are doing, which is what?

IV therapies weekly:

IV Vitamin C IV Artimesinin IV Mistletoe IV Helleborus Homeopathic Isopathic Pushes

Herbal Supliments to support Liver, Kidneys, Gut and Brain

Rife Frequency Therapy/ BIO scanning

Quantum Healing

Redlight Therapy

Kangen Water

Psychic Healing (I know this may seem far out but I’ll try anything!)

Heavy Metal Detoxing

Sunshine!!

We are also having consultations all over the world, some costing £1000 per hour on a zoom call

The private natural side of medicine is very costly, it’s currently costing us around £10,000 per month without adding anything in from our daily searching for cures and targeted therapies.

I have no idea what’s working and what’s not, but something is keeping his cancer from spreading and I can’t stop what I’m doing, so I’m asking for help to keep fund raising for us so that we can pay the ever growing medical bills, bills at home, and to be able to make memories with Dillan that he’s never been able to have, and also to relieve some financial pressure from Oz who has kept us afloat for 4 years as self employed. He needs to spend time with Dillan without worrying about what next month will bring. Right now I really need him to help me with the kids as this is all very full on and he is doing what he can but keeping dillan alive is priority.

Thank you for supporting us this past year on here it has stopped a very horrific 12 months from being much worse if that’s even possible.

Does Tummy Tuck Cause Stomach Issues?

Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is done to tighten the loose skin and muscle as well. This is a cosmetic surgery done to improve the overall appearance of the belly area of the candidate. Like every other procedure, a tummy tuck also has some complications that may arise if you have had this surgery. You may suffer from some gastrointestinal problems after a tummy tuck. But before knowing about the same, let’s look into why a tummy tuck is done in the first place.

What is a tummy tuck? Why is it done?

Aside from removing excess skin and fat, the cosmetic surgeon may use sutures to tighten the connective tissues of the abdomen. The entire goal of the operation is to give the abdomen a more toned and sleek appearance.

Can a tummy tuck cause gastric problems?

There are fewer complications that may occur after tummy tuck surgery. However, the benefits have outweighed the risk of the same. On the other hand, if you have other digestive issues like GERD, urinary incontinence, the pressure inside the tummy may get raised temporarily.

As per our cosmetic surgeon, the stomach issues that may happen include-

Upper abdomen bulge- a soft bulge or swelling at the upper belly area. This may happen due to significant tightening of the lower abdomen during the surgery.

Compartment syndrome in the abdomen- this may happen due to increased abdominal pressure after abdominoplasty.

Low blood pressure, respiratory problems, abdominal distension, and reduced urine are some of the symptoms.

When the rectus abdominis muscles are not returned to their natural anatomical positions by the surgeon, this can happen. This has been most commonly encountered in the RAFT(rectus abdominis fat transfer) procedure.

Swelling- one of the most common GI (gastrointestinal) symptoms that can happen after a tummy tuck. It will go on its own after four to six months. Even after that, if this persists, you should consult your surgeon immediately.

Infection- it’s a rare complication, infection can happen from the suture or stitch itself i.e placed after surgery.

You may experience fever, redness, swelling in the affected area.

This may happen only if-

The patient is allergic to the prescribed antibiotics and skipped his/her medicines.

Antibiotics are not given before the surgery

The patient has a history of previous MRSA( methicillin-resistant staph aureus), an infection that needs intensive treatment.

Fluid accumulation — Fluid collection in the gap between the abdominal skin and the muscle beneath it. A seroma (collection of wound fluid) or hematoma (collection of blood) are two types of fluid buildup.

When nothing is done to avoid it, fluid accumulates. The candidate must wear compression garments for at least a few weeks following the treatment to prevent such consequences.

Fluid pads can be placed over the area that is prone to fluid accumulation.

However, a tummy tuck will not affect digestion once it has been healed. Immediately after surgery, you may feel bloating, swelling, or constipation that might go away with time.Conclusion-By simply packing their medical journey to India, liver transplant treatment can substantially benefit the patient. We also offer a comprehensive range of counseling for coping with emotional changes to our international patients.

Does Tummy Tuck Cause Stomach Issues?Does Tummy Tuck Cause Stomach Issues?

[dustofsouls]

Can people please understand how transplantation works before spouting nonsense? because UNFORTUNATELY transplantation is an area of medicine that works in a constant state of oversaturation with more patients than organs available, this means that some people will unfortunately die while waiting for an organ because we cannot cure all.

So how do we decide who gets an organ and who doesn't? There has been a huge internal debate in the scientific community about this but it has been decided that we treat preferentially those who could get THE MOST YEARS out of an organ (basically until the donated organ fails due to long term reject but we got better at managing this) and have the most advanced stage of a malady. Is it a horrible thing to say? YES, we all recognize it, if we had unlimited organs we wouldn't have to do this but unluckily this is not the case.

the reason we do those types of research is to do the exact opposite of what you thing they are doing, we are asking "Is obesity GRADE III (not being fat) enough of a detrimental factor during and after surgery to LOWER transplant candidacy without prior loss of weight?"

And do you know why HIV+,HBV+ people (many times they get organs with HBV or HIV because it won't worsen their condition) and those with diabetes are higher in the list in general? Because those are UNMODIFIABLE conditions, but if properly treated and at full regime have low risks, while obesity IS a modifiable factor, as it is smoking, alcohol consumption, sedentary life.

Also complications CAN and ARE different both DURING and AFTER surgery and some complications have LOWER RELATIVE RISK.

The reasoning is simply "How much of the population having X conditions is going to survive the most years after transplant?" and we go from there, with a PANEL of people we consult to get approval for the organ transplant.

AND THAT'S WHY we do this type of research, to be able to say "Yes, this condition is a risk for graft failure and death but not as much as to drop a patient" and we are working to reduce those issues (wound complications, lymphoceles and comoborbidities development post surgery) and point to a weight loss post transplant that can HEAVILY improve graft functionality and survival.

We are not unhuman to ask those questions, we ask them to have a way to better treat people.

HOW DO YOU ALL THINK SURGICAL PROCEDURES AND MANY LIFESAVING DRUGS ARE STUDIED IN POPULATIONS?

We have people that are blindly divided in two groups those that get normal procedures/treatment/placebo and those that get the experimental thing and we watch which ones survive the most and have less complications. Medicine is a complex and many times HORRIBLE field, but this is how we got advancements because the scientific method is still less horrible than what we did before.

We need data, and for us to have data we need to test (yes on humans too). There were patients that literally got their liver explanted, filled with a BoronChemiotherapic, PUT IN THE NEUTRON BEAM OF A NUCLEAR REACTOR and reimplanted to see if it was a better treatment for disseminated liver cancer.

Fat and thin people with kidney failure experience similar benefits to health and longevity when they receive a live donor kidney transplant. 

Yet fat patients are routinely denied kidney transplants until they lose weight, a delay that can increase the risk of serious complications like graft loss by as much as 68%.

How Does Neonatal Jaundice Differ from Adult Jaundice in Terms of Causes and Treatment?

Jaundice is a condition that causes yellowing of the skin and eyes due to high levels of bilirubin in the blood. Although both neonates (newborns) and adults can experience jaundice, the causes and treatments can be quite different. Understanding these differences can help in proper diagnosis and treatment.

What is Neonatal Jaundice?

Neonatal jaundice is common in newborns, especially in the first few days after birth. It happens when the baby’s liver is not yet mature enough to process bilirubin effectively. This is typically a temporary condition, but it requires attention to avoid complications.

Common Causes of Neonatal Jaundice

Immature Liver Function: The primary cause of jaundice in newborns is the immaturity of their liver. Newborns are often born with a liver that is not fully developed, making it less efficient in processing bilirubin.

Excessive Red Blood Cells: Newborns often have a higher number of red blood cells, which break down and produce more bilirubin.

Breastfeeding Jaundice: Some newborns experience jaundice due to difficulties with breastfeeding, leading to dehydration or inadequate intake of milk.

What is Adult Jaundice?

Adult jaundice, on the other hand, is typically a sign of an underlying medical condition, often affecting the liver, gallbladder, or pancreas. It is not as common in adults as it is in newborns and usually indicates a more serious health issue.

Common Causes of Adult Jaundice

Liver Diseases: Conditions like hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer can cause jaundice in adults due to the liver’s inability to process bilirubin properly.

Bile Duct Obstruction: Blockages in the bile ducts, often caused by gallstones or tumors, can prevent bilirubin from being excreted, leading to jaundice.

Pancreatic Disorders: Diseases like pancreatic cancer or pancreatitis can also result in jaundice, as the pancreas plays a role in bile production and flow.

How Are Neonatal and Adult Jaundice Treated?

Treatment for Neonatal Jaundice

Phototherapy: One of the most common treatments for neonatal jaundice is phototherapy. This involves exposing the baby to special light that helps break down bilirubin in the skin.

Feeding and Hydration: Proper feeding, especially breastfeeding, is important to help the baby pass bilirubin through urine and stool.

Exchange Transfusion: In rare cases, when bilirubin levels are dangerously high, an exchange transfusion may be needed, which involves replacing the baby’s blood with fresh blood.

Treatment for Adult Jaundice

Treating the Underlying Cause: In adults, treating the root cause of jaundice is essential. This may involve medications, surgery, or lifestyle changes depending on the condition causing the jaundice.

Liver Transplant: For severe cases of liver failure, a liver transplant may be necessary.

Managing Bile Duct Obstructions: Surgery or other procedures may be required to remove blockages in the bile ducts.

Key Differences Between Neonatal and Adult Jaundice

Cause: Neonatal jaundice is primarily due to an immature liver, while adult jaundice is usually the result of liver disease or bile duct obstruction.

Treatment: Neonatal jaundice is often treated with phototherapy, while adult jaundice requires treatment of the underlying condition, such as medication or surgery.

If you or your child is dealing with jaundice, it’s important to seek proper medical attention. For expert care and diagnosis, schedule an appointment with GEM Hospital for personalized treatment options.

Why Choose a Surgical Gastroenterologist?

Surgical gastroenterologists are uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat complex diseases of the digestive system requiring surgical intervention. Their expertise in advanced procedures, including minimally invasive techniques, ensures precise treatment and faster recovery for patients.

Conditions Treated by Surgical Gastroenterologists in Chennai

Gallstones

Gallstones can cause severe pain and complications like bile duct obstructions. Surgical procedures like laparoscopic cholecystectomy effectively remove the gallbladder, providing relief.

Colorectal Cancer

Surgical gastroenterologists perform procedures such as colectomy or proctectomy to remove cancerous tissues while preserving healthy tissue, ensuring optimal outcomes.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

For patients with conditions like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, surgical interventions such as bowel resections can significantly alleviate symptoms when medications fail.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Chronic acid reflux can be treated with fundoplication, a surgical procedure that prevents reflux and relieves associated symptoms.

Pancreatic Disorders

Surgical interventions for pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis include procedures like the Whipple procedure or pancreatectomy, which effectively address these conditions.

Signs and Symptoms to Watch For

Persistent Abdominal Pain: Could indicate ulcers, gallstones, or appendicitis.

Digestive Issues: Symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, or constipation may signal GI disorders.

Unexplained Weight Loss: Could be a sign of cancer or malabsorption disorders.

Blood in Stool: May indicate colorectal cancer or hemorrhoids.

Causes of Gastrointestinal Disorders

Lifestyle Factors

Poor dietary habits, smoking, and lack of physical activity contribute to conditions like GERD and gallstones. Consulting a specialist helps in identifying tailored treatment plans.

Genetic Predisposition

A family history of colorectal cancer or IBD increases the risk, making early screening vital.

Chronic Inflammation

Chronic diseases like Crohn’s disease can severely impact the GI tract if untreated. Early intervention ensures effective management.

Treatment Procedures

Minimally Invasive Surgery: Laparoscopic procedures involve smaller incisions, reducing recovery time and post-operative pain.

Laser Therapy: Used for removing tumors and managing bleeding ulcers.

Resection: Removal of affected GI tract parts, such as in colorectal cancer treatment.

Liver Transplantation: Performed for end-stage liver disease by experts in surgical gastroenterology.

GI Surgeons vs. General Surgeons

GI surgeons focus exclusively on the digestive system, handling conditions like colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. In contrast, general surgeons address a broader range of conditions, such as hernias and appendicitis. For complex GI cases, consulting a specialized surgical gastroenterologist ensures optimal care.

Conclusion

Seeking care from the best surgical gastroenterologist in Chennai, such as Dr. Magnus Jayaraj Mansard or others, can significantly improve digestive health and prevent complications.
