Hi everyone, I live in Canada and I want to pursue getting a consult with an oncologist outside of NA such as Thailand, China, etc since I hear so many good things about their healthcare system. However, I dont want to travel all the way there without having a virtual consult first. Have any of you gone through this avenue and if so could you please enlighten me as to the path via which you were able to get this consult? Thank you!

Hi there, for those of you who have been able to access virtual meetings with oncologists from countries like Thailand, China, etc for consults, could you please shed light on how you were able to get it? Thank you.

Hi everyone, so I spoke with my doctor who reviewed my CT scans (I have 2 new masses in my pelvis after I did radiation + chemo last year, so they gave me 1st line of chemo treatment bc radiation was off the table) and basically what he said was, continue with the next 3 chemos and if the masses are controlled or smaller, then I will go on maintenance. I told him I've heard that you can get more than 1 line of treatment (I think I've even read here someone had 4 lines of treatment) and his answer was very vague. My treatment is Taxol, Carbo, Avastin and Keytruda which I understand from a previous thread is this is standard protocol.

For those of you who have had multiple lines of chemo treatment and I understand it's different for everyone, could you please share what you were given? Thanks!

Hi everyone, just wondering if any of you has had a nephroureterostomy tube and if so what is your experience with it?

I see a lot online about nephrostomy tubes but not nephroureterostomy tube. My understanding of the latter is it goes from your back, through the kidney and into the bladder.. and unlike a nephrostomy tube where you need an external bag for the urine, this method allows the urine to drain 'inside'.

Thanks!
