"Why cut property taxes today when we can pretend we'll cut property taxes two years from now?" -Austin swamp politicians
MD Anderson is certainly conventional in their approach - stuck in the “standard of care” approach where chemo is the first line of defense. I’d rather see them a bit more willing to experiment with new approaches, but they’re quite conventional in their thinking. (2/2)
Urachal cancer: after diagnosis in March, I carefully considered my options. Decided to work with MD Anderson in Houston @MDAndersonNews. While the jury remains out on how effective their plan(s) are… I’ll say they are professional and well-organized. (1/2)
Like some cancers, urachal cancer tends to develop silently and often isn’t found until it has spread. In my case, I was blessed. I had a kidney stone late February. During imaging, they found the tumor on or in my bladder. Biopsy confirmed the super rare urachal cancer.
The urine from your mother gets sent back to you via the umbilical cord, and then passes into the urachus and flows to your bladder. After birth the urachus isn’t used any more. In super rare cases (50-70 new cases a year), the urachus develops cancer. Such is my case (2/2).
Urachal cancer is very rare. The urachus is a structure from your navel to your bladder. When you’re being formed in your mother, her kidneys filter the blood and send the urine back to you, through the umbilical cord (1/2).
I’ve decided I’ll post periodically about my war with cancer. In March of this year (2025) I was diagnosed with urachal cancer. This is a very rare cancer. There are only 50-70 new cases a year in the US, so perhaps my experiences might be useful. Stay tuned for updates.
