Well, I got my MRI scan done just before Christmas, and apparently I'm
all clear on the brain tumor front. However, I have a condition known as
Transverse Myelitis, with a suspicion of MS, and a referral to the MS
clinic. Hmmm... Good, bad, or just different? I haven't decided.
Scott.
Woo Hoo Scotty!!!! MS isn't good, but it isn't brain cancer. I don't know
squat about what you have, but am hoping and thinking kind thoughts for it
to not only be treatable, but something that you can work with.

This is a one time email to let you know about FrequenSea. I will not
contact you again, unless you ask me too.
Try this instead
I don't know anything about the condition that you have been diagnosed with,
but I would say the odds were stacked that it is far better than a brain
tumour.
You will still travel down the medical road and be full of anxieties but at
least you can cross off the tumour one and the unknown.
Good luck to you.

I think this is a good source, Scott

They're vague on whether it continues and it may be that nerve damage can
occur - maybe that's why.
They mention steroid for the TM.
The itching might be from irritation of the nerve.
Itching does not seem to be in the archives of the MS newsgroup.
TM does, mostly, but not limited to, one poster. One was rechecked some
months later and did claim to have the MS plaques in the brain.
So the jury's out on MS for you. However it looks like they're leaning that
way and the neck is mentioned here
http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/diagnosingms.html
You may want to continue reading and posting there.
I'll watch for clues or updates there, in case something comes to mind.
Before badmouthing health system, based on what a relative has experienced
in BC and others in our Province, they got you in fast. And that seems
typical of the West Coast of BC.
Good to hear it's not a brain tumour.

PS If they haven't replied, I've noticed they're a bit reticent to enter
into it (with prior posters), until maybe one or two posters (who could be
away at times), have a read or until firm diagnosis. But stay there, so I
can see you, in case I see something that points to something else, please.

I hope that your husband enjoys it when he comes home, and you come
running off the front porch, jump up on him, and bark. . .
great news on the brain tumor front. as far as transverse myelitis, My
understanding is that it is viral and it settles in your spinal cord. How
much you are affected depends on where the inflamation is located. For
example, we had a 12 month old baby (at work) that got his TM around C2-C3.
He was paralysed from the neck down and it is permanent. I've seen lighter
cases where the affected area is lower and it is more a generalized weakness
below the area.
best wishes to you

Hi J. Thanks for your interest. My neuro told me he thinks MS is
probable (his actual words were, "it looks likely"), but he won't Dx it.
I'm still waiting for a referral to the the MS doc. Apparently, he's
still away for Christmas, back on the 16th. Go figure. I phoned the MS
clinic today myself to confirm it. I don't think I'm badmouthing the
system when they've kept me waiting, mostly in the dark, for two months
about a potentially devastating illness. I've already progressed to the
point where I can't work for more than a couple hours before exhaustion
sets in, and I'm now using a cane for walking anything more than a short
distance. Whatever I have is getting worse fast, and I'm still waiting
to be booked for an appointment.
Regarding shingles, I'm thinking the itching is more likely dyesthesia.
There's no rash, and it's numb around the itch. Plus it's quite
localised. I've developed a numb patch on my chest that feels just like
it, without the itching. The eye thing is dry eye syndrome. I doubt it's
related. My eyes have been pretty dry since I had corrective laser
surgery several years ago (the only drawback). Head's still hurting,
Tylenol 3 makes the itching unbearable. RLS, can't sleep (I'm taking
three different sleeping meds, just to mix it up. I hear benzodiazepine
addiction is a real bitch). My bladder is weak, I feel in a daze all the
time. It all seems pretty MSish. If it weren't for the spinal cord
lesion(s), I might not be so convinced. But then again, a little while
ago, I was pretty sure I had a brain tumor. All I know for sure is, I'm
not a happy camper, and it would be nice to know for sure. I'll let you
know what I eventually find out.
Scott.
Weston, Florida, January 14, 2006
Cytorex Biosciences, Inc. (Cytorex), a Florida based biotechnology
company, announced today the publication in the January 2006 issue of
the Journal of Carcinogenesis, of a research report related to in-vitro
efficacy testing in cancer cell lines and normal cell lines, with
Cytoreg®, their lead anti-cancer compound.
The title of the publication is: "Cytoreg® inhibits growth and
proliferation of human adenocarcinoma cells via induction of
apoptosis". The corresponding author is James Kumi-Diaka, DVM, PhD,
from Florida Atlantic University (FAU), and the co-authors of the
report are: Manzur Hassanhi, MD, PhD , professor of Immunology and
Cancer Research Scientist, from the University of Zulia (Venezuela),
Brown Jayaan(FAU), Kendra Merchant (FAU) , Carlos M Garcia (Cytorex),
and William Jimenez (Cytorex).
Abstract: "Cancer is one of the devastating neovascular diseases that
incapacitate so many people the world over. Recent reports from the
National Cancer Institute indicate some significant gain therapy and
cancer management as seen in the increase in the 5-year survival rate
over the past two decades. Although near-perfect cure rate have been
reported in the early-stage disease, these data reveal high recurrence
rate and serious side effects including second malignancies and
fatalities. Most of the currently used anticancer agents are only
effective against proliferating cancer cells. Thus attention has been
focused on potential anti-cancer agents capable of killing cancer cells
independent of the cell cycle state, to ensure effective elimination of
most cancer cells. The objective of this study was to test the
Chemosensitivity and potential mechanism of action of a novel cancer
drug, Cytoreg®, in a panel of human cancer cells. Methods: the study
was performed using a series of bioassays including Trypan blue
exclusion, MTS Growth inhibition, LDH-cytotoxicity, TUNEL-Terminal DNA
fragmentation Apoptosis Assay, and the Caspase protease CPP32 activity
assays. Results: Cytoreg® induced significant dose- and time-dependent
inhibition of growth in all the cells; with significant differences in
chemosensitivity (P 1:300). Cytoreg®-induced caspase protease-3
(CPP32) activation significantly and positively correlated with
apoptosis induction and growth inhibition; thus implicating CPP32 as
the principal death pathway in Cytoreg®-induced apoptosis. Conclusion:
Cytoreg® exerted a dose-and time-dependent growth inhibitory effect in
all the target cells through induction of apoptosis via the CPP32 death
pathway, independent of hormonal sensitivity of the cells. The present
data indicate that not only could CPP32 provide a potential target for
regulation of Cytoreg®-induced apoptosis but also that Cytoreg® could
play a significant role in chemotherapeutic regimen in many human
malignant tumors."
"This is the first of several research reports about Cytoreg® we
plan to submit, during 2006. to peer-reviewed journals", said Dr.
James Kumi-Diaka, Professor of Biology of Cancer at Florida Atlantic
University in Davie, Florida.
"Cytoreg® has great potential as an anti-cancer compound, and
additional research has shown that this compound's toxicity level is
very low if compared with current approved chemotherapeutical
agents", indicated Dr. Manzur Hassanhi, Professor of Immunology and
Cancer Research Scientist of the University of Zulia
(Maracaibo-Venezuela).
Both Kumi-Diaka and Hasannhi, have lead since 2003 a multinational
research team involved in the discovery of Cytoreg® as an anti-cancer
agent.
According to Cytorex's Vice-President & CFO, William Jimenez, who is
also a co-author of this research report, "Cytoreg® is a therapeutic
agent for cellular regulation, with antineoplastic properties which may
also be used to fight immunological diseases. Cytoreg® constitutes a
balanced mixture of strong and weak acids in an aqueous medium;
resembling a buffer without using salts. Cytoreg® is transferred into
a cellular system through ionic transport due to its low molecular
weight, where each ion acts concurrently in cells, turning Cytoreg®
into a highly efficient "smart-drug." Cytoreg®'s numerous
mechanisms of action are exerted through the cellular membrane".

This was also posted to investment and nutrition groups.
Remember folks, just because it's posted here, does not mean it has value.
When you see "in-vitro", just means (Latin: "within glass") is an
experimental technique where the experiment is performed in a test tube, or
generally outside a living organism or cell. Many experiments that deal
with molecular biology are conducted outside organisms or cells, where the
conditions and therefore results may not represent those inside the cell.
There's probably hundreds of thousands of products being tested, at any
given time, in-vitro.
It's not useful to human beings, until it's in clinical trials - your
oncologist can search for you for trials.
And these posts aren't welcome here until they've passed or at least in
Phase IV clinical trials.
You'll hear about it or we can search for earlier trials for you.
These people are just looking for investors to continue their research
which, on the face of it, lools like it might be a nutritional supplement.
I would suggest that:
1) when you see in-vitro in a post, block that poster
2) consult with a financial advisor as to if and who you will invest your
monies with.
Here's instructions on how to block posters (with most, not all)
newsreaders
<http://www.hyphenologist.co.uk/killfile/killfilefaqhtm.htm>
and who to block
From: "expo"

Seems like there's a lot of (primary) brain tumor survivors in the US (~357,000
- year 2000) according to a brain tumor web page.
I'd be hard-pressed to choose between the most common brain tumors and MS, which
Scott's been diagnosed with. This is an update to this thread.
He's on a lively, lift spirits up, supportive and interesting people, newsgroup
now.
I hope it's one of the milder forms (although it'll be a lifestyle adjustment)
and wish him many more good years.
