I was out to dinner and sat t in the carpaRK OUTSIDE AS WE TALKED FOR AN HOUR. AT THAt time, believe i it or not, he sounded like he was about to croak. he has amazing stamina and drive, and has gone thru that similar scenario at least half a dozen times since, then, all of a sudden the f-er is up and about and doing well. he has a lot to deal with for sure, and each time e its been a terrible strain non him. I am always proud to see him come thru everyt ime tho, and seee that half toothless grin on a video chat. as i expect to do for a long time yet! 10 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lanzalad Posted March 7, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2020 Thanks for all the messages and i've kind of gotten my head around things a bit more today and done a little research on this new treatment. Here's what I've found out so far for the new treatment:- The Christie's Proton Beam Therapy unit is to start treating patients A pioneering Proton Beam Therapy Unit at The Christie will treat its first cancer patient this month. The new cancer therapy unit is the first of its kind in the UK and has been under construction since the summer of 2014. It delivers a specialist form of radiotherapy which was formerly only been available to patients abroad. Now complete, the unit's first patient is preparing to undergo proton beam treatment this month. Proton beam therapy is a type of radiotherapy that targets certain cancers very precisely, increasing success rates and reducing side-effects. It targets tumours with less damage to surrounding healthy tissue and is particularly appropriate for certain cancers in children who are at risk of lasting damage to organs that are still growing. The machine itself, known as a 'cyclotron', is the size of a small car and weighs the same as jumbo jet. It is expected to treat around 750 patients a year, starting with its first this December. Roger Spencer, chief executive of The Christie, said: “To be just days away from offering high energy proton beam therapy to patients in the UK for the very first time is really exciting. "Patients will benefit hugely from having the service available in Manchester bringing treatment closer for them and their families who currently have to travel abroad, and resulting in less upheaval during what is undoubtedly an extremely stressful time in their lives." NHS England chiefs said other patients have been identified and are currently in the 'complex planning phase' with clinicians at The Christie, to determine the best date for their first treatment. Accommodation will be available for patients and carers coming from outside the immediate vicinity of the new centre. Eventually Proton Beam Therapy will be available in London in summer 2020. Cally Palmer, national cancer director for NHS England added: "There have been huge advances in precision cancer treatment which hundreds of thousands of patients across the UK are now benefiting from. “The first NHS patient undergoing high energy proton beam therapy in England marks a major milestone for the NHS and, as the NHS develops a long term plan for the future, it also marks the end of the first phase of the plans to radically transform cancer treatment across the country.” 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skalliwag Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Sorry to hear the news mate. Keep fighting for the Beauty nipper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunDon Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Saw a film on a Proton Beam building being built and the machine being installed, possibly the one at Christies, or UCLH London, but not sure. Very complicated building needed to stop the Protons getting out. The wonders of modern science never ceases to amaze me. Good luck Lanzalad. 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Gotta be worth it even just to say you’ve had ‘proton beam therapy in the Cyclotron’ that’s Star Trek shit right there.Keep up the good fight Lanza [emoji106]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Stay positive and keep fighting Phil, sounds like you have a few treatment options and I’m sure something will work. My Dad has Stage 4, but he’s been out of the hospital almost 4 months now and gained all his weight back. He’s taking “ chemo in a pill” instead of the sessions. What I hate is these doctors’ negativity sometimes. Seems that the trend is to give the patient such low chances, so if you come out of it and live much longer, they look like heroes. The way some of them were talking in November, my father shouldn’t be here anymore, when he’s doing fine, just a little low on energy. Attitude is important, I know you can beat this 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
