In May 2022, Tina Calderone-Roth felt terrible. She was experiencing fatigue, shortness of breath and nausea. She also gained close to 15 pounds in three days. Nurses she knew suggested she go to the emergency department. Two paracentesis procedures resulted in the removal of 6.5 liters of fluid. Doctors initially noticed a large abdominal mass, but further tests indicated ovarian masses of 7cm and 10cm. Tests also showed Tina had the BRCA-2 gene mutation. She opted to, all at once, undergo a hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. A week after the procedure, it was learned there had been Stage 1B cancer in both ovaries. Tina was next put on six rounds of chemotherapy with carbo-taxol, avastin and the PARP inhibitor, lynparaza. Because of the BRCA-2 gene mutation and with it, the possibility of breast, she decided to get a bilateral mastectomy. Tina reached survivorship and these days, while she can no longer run, she can jog and power walk. Tina had been working for more than two decades in the care management sector of health care in 2022, when her health took a sudden turn for the worse. She was feeling unusually tired, had shortness of breath and her weight shot up by 15 pounds in three days. She had no idea what was going on, but consulted friends who were nurses, and they suggested she go to the emergency department, which she did in the middle of a workday. Tina underwent a CT scan, ultrasound, electrocardiogram, blood work and genetic testing. A subsequent pair of paracentesis procedure removed a combined 6.5 liters of fluid, which explained her sudden, sharp weight gain. Those tests also showed she had a large abdominal mass. Further tests were conducted and they revealed two large ovarian masses, measuring roughly 7cm and 10cm. Meanwhile, the genetic testing revealed Tina had the BRCA-2 gene mutation. She did not want to have multiple surgeries, so she elected to have a hysterectomy along with the removal of both ovaries. About a week later, it was determined the ovaries were cancerous. She and her care team settled on a six-round chemotherapy regimen of carbo-taxol, avastin and the PARP inhibitor, lynparaza. Like many dealing with chemotherapy, Tina was fatigued, had nausea and suffered hair loss, but got through it. She was still concerned about the possibility of being diagnosed with breast cancer because of the gene mutation, so she decided to undergo a bilateral mastectomy. If Tina Calderone-Roth's health before her diagnosis could be considered 100 percent, these days she considers her health to be at 90 percent. While she can no longer run, Tina says she can jog and power walk.

Pamela Deasy was in her early 40s, working full time and volunteering with the RNLI, when fatigue started dragging her back into bed in the middle of the day. Her bloods were clear. She was told it was perimenopause, then depression. Months passed before a kinesiologist, of all people, pointed at her pancreas — and within days she was in a Cork hospital being told she had a tumour.In this episode, Pamela sits down with Laura to walk through what happened next: the chemotherapy that made her legs turn to jelly, the five and a half weeks of daily radiotherapy that put her on her back in hospital, and the Whipple surgery that took out the head of her pancreas, part of her stomach, part of her intestine, her gallbladder and her spleen. Then the slower, quieter battle that came after — the seven and a half stone she lost, the survivor guilt nobody warned her about, the Survive and Thrive programme that helped her step back into the world, and the small camping toilet she now keeps in her car because that is the honest reality of life after Whipple surgery.Pamela also shares why she co-founded Pancreatic Cancer Ireland, what the signs of pancreatic cancer actually look like, and why "listen to your gut and keep going back" might be the most important sentence you hear this week.

Beth Lehman went through a tumultuous year in 2020. Thanks to heavy drinking, she was diagnosed with cirrhosis, then basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer, followed by hepatocellular carcinoma, a form of liver cancer. She underwent radioactive embolization in order to get a liver transplant. Beth said the two-hour operation wasn't so tough, but the after-effects were difficult, including nausea and vomiting. Then she experienced a procedure to get rid of the skin cancer on her right temple. She says between her physical and emotional recovery, she advocates for cancer patients and is happier than ever. Beth's alcohol consumption had soared to four or five bottles of wine a day. In 2020, she began to have a buildup of fluid in her stomach, known as ascites. For a long time, she avoided consulting a doctor, suspecting a doctor would tell her to quit drinking; but when ascites asserted itself, she sought medical attention. She was diagnosed with cirrhosis. Upon further examination, five tumors were discovered in her liver, which led to a diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, a form of liver cancer. This diagnosis came after another diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma, but the skin cancer had to take back seat to the liver cancer. Beth said her care team first had to determine whether the cancer had spread beyond her liver. Thankfully, it hadn't. In order to complete a liver transplant, doctors wanted to execute radioactive embolization, in which radiation beads would be injected into her arteries through her wrist or groin and targeted at the tumors. However, for that to happen, the tumors had to be 2cm, but her largest tumor was 1.87cm. Incredibly, Beth's care team told her to go home and let the tumors grow so they would be large enough for it to go through with the radioactive embolization. Once the tumors grew, Beth went through the procedure, also known as Y-90. She had to go through the procedure a second time. Usually, a second procedure comes eight to twelve weeks after the first procedure. Beth's second procedure came just four weeks later. She said she was awake during each procedure, each lasted about two hours, but the toughest part was post-treatment, as she had a great amount of radiation in her body, so much that upon returning home, she had to be sequestered from her husband and her pet cats. Once she recovered from her liver transplant, she had her skin cancer treated. She said her doctors had to go seven layers deep to get all the cancer, but they did such an outstanding job that her incision is not visible. Beth Lehman once had a lucrative IT position, but these days she works as an advocate for cancer patients, especially liver cancer patients and says she is happier than ever.

Episode 200: All About Ascites. Jesica Mendoza explains the pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of ascites. Dr. Arreaza adds input about early detection and prevention of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. Written by Jesica Mendoza, OMS IV, Western University, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific. Edits and comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Welcome to our episode 200! It is an honor to welcome back a wonderful medical student, her name is Jesica, and she has prepared this topic, and she is excited to share this information with us. Jesica presented in June this year an episode about gestational diabetes (episode 193) and today she will talk about ascites. Jesica, please tell us who you are again. What is ascites?Ascites is the buildup of fluid in between the visceral peritoneum and the parietal peritoneum in the abdomen. This is often caused by cirrhosis of the liver due to the increased portal HTN which leads to increased nitrous oxide (NO) and prostaglandins which then causes splanchnic vasodilation and decreased effective arterial volume. The decrease in arterial volume then causes an increase in the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the renal system which leads to sodium and water retention. This then causes a net reabsorption of fluids and ascites.Evaluation of ascites.Once someone has been found to have ascites the next step will be a diagnostic paracentesis. This includes removing fluid from the peritoneal cavity in order to determine the SAAG (Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient) score. SAAG : (serum albumin) − (albumin level of ascitic fluid). The two values should be measured at the same time.This score helps determine the cause of the ascites with a score >1.1 g/dL indicating portal hypertension usually due to liver disease such as cirrhosis. A SAAG score of 250 PMNS/mL. Fluid should be sent to the lab for culture and then antibiotics should be started. IV 3rd generation cephalosporins are typically used. Fluoroquinolones are also used to prevent the recurrence of SBP.If you desire to learn more about SBP, listen to our episode 123. By the way, propranolol is a frequently used medication to prevent GI bleeding from esophageal varices in cirrhosis and also to decrease the development of ascites. It should be used in patients who have compensated cirrhosis and must be avoided in patients with refractory ascites, hypotension, renal dysfunction or active infection. So, to wrap things up we should remember that once we identify ascites with our physical exam of the patient, we should make sure to obtain a paracentesis as these results will be the main guide for our treatment. The treatment can then range from medical treatment such as spironolactone and/or loop diuretics to TIPS procedures, PleurX or even liver transplant. Always be on the lookout for SBP in patients with ascites and always remember to obtain a culture on the ascitic fluid prior to starting antibiotics. Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

In this episode of It Takes Balls, pediatric anesthesiologist Aaron Bernotas shares his rollercoaster journey through testicular cancer - one that had fertility challenges, grueling treatment, and rare complications that pushed him to the brink.Aaron opens up about discovering a lump, downplaying it at first, and ultimately undergoing surgery the day after his urologist confirmed it was suspicious for cancer. While the orchiectomy seemed routine, the aftermath was anything but. Shortly after, Aaron was diagnosed with azoospermia (no sperm), forcing him and his wife to pursue IVF with micro-TESE. Despite setbacks, they now have a daughter - one of two embryos that survived.The episode dives into the emotional impact of facing cancer while juggling a demanding medical career and processing the blow of infertility. Aaron later faced recurrence, underwent three rounds of BEP chemotherapy, and then an RPLND surgery. But what followed was a rare complication: chylous ascites, a buildup of lymphatic fluid in the abdomen. After months of procedures - including multiple drainings, gluing, a second exploratory surgery, and the placement of a Denver shunt - his condition finally resolved over 18 months after his initial diagnosis.Aaron reflects on the brutal physical toll of this journey, the unwavering support from his wife and family, and the resilience it took to keep showing up.

Dr. Amy Kaplan, DACVECC here today! In today's VETgirl online veterinary CE podcast, we're going to explore the various diagnostics tools available to us to workup nonhemorrhagic ascites in dogs beyond our initial physical examination. Now in the ER, when I tap an abdomen and it comes back as blood, I'm all over it – the majority of the time, it's often secondary to hemangiosarcoma or less common causes such as hemangiomas or hematomas (which DO happen!). Less commonly, I'll see patients present with abdominal effusion that is considered a nonhemorrhagic ascites (what we'll call NHA from now on) – this is fluid with a packed cell volume of < 10%). A variety of diseases can cause NHA including right-sided congestive heart failure, neoplasia, liver failure, hypoalbuminemia, pancreatitis, chyloabdomen, uroabdomen, or septic peritonitis. So, when it's NOT blood, how do you figure out the cause of the ascites?Sponsored By: Royal Canin
In today's VETgirl online veterinary CE podcast, we're going to review a study by Morey et al out of University of Missouri entitled “N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide, cardiac troponin-I, and point-of-care ultrasound in dogs with cardiac and noncardiac causes of nonhemorrhagic ascites.”

What no oncology patient wants to see or hear... "New lesions. One here... another new lesion here... here... here." "Ascites and another new pocket of fluid here." I'm relying on treatment and some sort of crazy positive... possible outcome. One that, I'm not sure really at this point what to expect. I honestly believe... I am just fooling myself. I had an e-visit this morning to go over things with my hospital specialists and let's face it... things don't look very promising. After I got off that e-visit... I just cried. More so out of frustration. Lately, I have become more angry at myself... for deciding to save myself six years ago. Maxing out the gold standard so to speak, oncology treatments. They didn't even work. Instead, I was released with a five year prognosis. Right now, I feel as if my specialists are just joining me along on this crazy ride to spare me... a bit more time. I'm not even sure if a bit more time is worth this roller-coaster ride?. Then my specialists assistant calls to go over new medication to help control the pain, that let's face it... has gotten a hell of a lot worse. Hearing recent scan reports, it's no wonder and should it really come as a shock?.. No. More PA forms and other red flags, hurdles for even hospital specialists to jump through with the insurance company. Now since I have two different insurance plans... we are crossing fingers things get approved much sooner! I was hit with a lot of tough questions and decisions that will need answered during my next hospital visit. Five weeks to be precise. I'd be crazy to think... I have no fears. My five year prognosis has come and gone. I then made it past the six year mark. Now as I was told, "Things are progressing and so are secondary complications. Your pain is going to continue getting worse. Do you have all of your wishes in writing?" I made a phone call after my e-visit to an attorney that the scheduling nurse gave me. If only to make sure I do have all of my wishes correctly, legally documented. I had to make, once again, changes over the past few months. Maybe... I need to make a few other changes?. I'm not sure, but that's why the nurse felt it is good to just sit down and go over everything with an attorney. If I can't physically meet, at least the law office offers video appointments. I have a lot of concerns... obvious fears regarding the path my health is taking. The pain itself concerns me. Especially, because it is starting to radiate in areas that it has yet to reach. The "It's going to continue getting worse part." That is what scares me, because no one wants to be in pain 24/7 that only continues getting worse, not better. Not having much, if any kind of appetite lately, at least makes perfect sense now. You can't get past the reports. Medical reports don't lie. What you can't see with the naked eye. There were three very valid questions that were asked of me. Decisions that will need to be answered. At least... I have five weeks, soul searching. For now, at least I am still able to get out on the daily. Walking has always been a way to help free my mind, any stress and to reset myself. At least, I am still able to do so with my beloved Snoreo. He has truly stepped it up since Blue's passing. If there was ever a soul dog... Snoreo is mine. I promised him, we will stick together till the end. ❣️
