Eneze1:


Thanks Idowu for volunteering to take a session, I think Olu too volunteered if any of the chemo treatment falls on a weekend, please who else house. This is actually the first time I wish I live in Lagos

taryour:
Madam greatgod2012, been seeing you all the while viewing the thread but you haven't posted. Hmmm it is well, I can only but imagine your thoughts and how you feel about all this.

Please share your opinion/ideas, it will be appreciated. Ese ma.

Caracta:


I can even do more than one. But it's difficult to decide since the sessions may not fall on weekends. That's my only challenge.

remsonik:
I can volunteer to be with him for one session

Idowuogbo:

Correct!

2 confirmed!

Jaybee3 & Remsonik!

Hopefully,my mentions will cover the rest.

BABA,IN YOU WE TRUST! UNITED WE STAND.

jaybee3:
Instead of going round in circles, this is what ought to be considered if you guys endorse treatment option 1.

He is expected to have 6 chemo cycles within a span of 18 weeks.

The chemo cycle is once every other 3 weeks

6 new people can volunteer to accompany him then share the scheduling among themselves (1 volunteer for each chemo cycle).

The volunteers will have the responsibility to update on proceedings at the end of each chemo cycle

Originalsly:
@TeHN......I'm asking yet again....what is the EXPECTED outcome of this 18 week full treatment?...is it that he would be pain free for the duration?...is it he would be cancer free?....is it the cancer would be beaten back to stage 1? Only you guys can answer this so can you do so before you fade into the background?

Idowuogbo:
Gbadexy,are you avalaible to do one as well? If yes we need 3 more.

Fhemmmy:


Thanks for reaching to your big heart..... will talk to you soon.

alutacontinua:


No one can give their words on how the chemo will go.
A stage 4 cancer is not something anybody can boldly say chemotherapy will do this or that.

However, the alternative treatments you mentioned (which btw, I am absolutely not in support of) would have to be agreed upon by the house. TeHN, as you can see, are no longer calling the shots! If you have to go that route, lay it bare and let the house decide if that is what they want. Don't put this on TeHN, that is what they're totally trying to avoid.

Oh dear Lord you are awesome!!! To all the volunteers may God bless you richly. @DJdola we have not given up on you. God is in control. Keep the faith bro. @idowuogbo God bless you sis...your mentions has spurred the volunteering. You do well

gbadexy:

lf you mean as a volunteer field worker, i'm afraid the answer is no. l simply dont have the time.
my schedules are unpredictable and i have to always monitor production and distributors of my modest biz. Dont have reliable person yet.

kliq:
Who's hiding my posts

OAM4J:

Except that I don't think we need a new thread to seek for volunteers. Volunteers should come from stakeholders on this thread.

ochon:


Okay, I get you. I only explored that option because I think the larger the audience, the greater the chances of getting more volunteers. But if this thread is enough, then let's carry on with it.

I think in regards to options and treatment, I feel TeHN should carry on with LLC option immediately along with option A (DJ's brother). Stage 4 cancer is very serious. The house hasn't come to general consensus on what course of action to take and time is ticking away. If the NY appraisal suggest we move on with Chemo, then since they're professionals and the funds to cover the expenses are ready, let's move on with it. Delay is dangerous. We can't keep talking while DJ is hapless.

For now, till option B (new team) is possible, option A is our only choice. The truth is, no matter if a new team will be assembled or not, no matter the number of volunteers we'll get, DJ's brother/family is/are our number one DEFAULT VOLUNTEER(S). He's been there all through before TeHN's volunteers took a step back. He'll always be at DJ's side no matter the number of volunteers. So if you ask me, whether option A or B, DJ's brother is the common factor. He knows the extent you guys have gone, knows the hospitals locations. The doctors know him too. He can do this. He can be in charge till the volunteers or new team arrives. If TeHN or we, weren't around but they (DJ's family) have the funds, will they fold their hands and watch him die? The answer is no!! So DJ's brother can do this till others can join him.

I think 50-60% of this job has been done. All he needs to do is get DJ into a private cab on the days he's needed, take him to hospital, stay with him for the day (or probably two days) of the treatment, get information from the doctors (probably written down by them in order not to misquote them), take him back to the house where DJ will be in the care of his family till the next trip, then come online and update us with the happenings and attend to our questions. DJ's brother can do this, he has no choice for now. We're limited for now. I'm sure others will willingly help as time goes on. I believe before the end of the 18 weeks, by the grace of God, DJ will even be more stronger to update us or go on his own. Typing without any definitive action is bad. While we wait on the volunteers, let his brother get him to LCC fast. Thank God he won't be staying in the hospital more than 2 days. So the care on DJ can come from his family watching over him constantly.

Lest I forget, DJ's brother must create his own handle and never use DJ's handle to update us. So that the issue Emmysexy raised about DJ not being the one that is commenting with his handle can be reduced. It's not a foolproof plan but it can help sha. So we can be able to ascertain updates by DJ or his brother. Also, if we can get more than 6 volunteers, it'll be better. We never can tell if unforseen circumstances can make a volunteer not to be chanced on the day he or she is needed.

This is my opinion, I hope one or two things from it can help.

Idowuogbo:

Me i'm based in Jamaica o...volunteered ke? You go buy my plane ticket?

r231:


“The patient has in curable cancer. Whether chemotherapy is worthwhile is unpredictable.

Generally if the patient is poorly and is not well enough to work, get out of the house each day, (performance status of 3 or worse), chemotherapy is likely to do more harm than good.

If his performance status was good, then I would want to know whether more detail could be obtained from the cytology of the cells in the ascites, or obtain a core biopsy from a deposit if a deposit is identifiable on CT. however

if the performance status is as poor as it sounds he is unlikely to benefit from chemo and it will likely cause more rapid decline.

olu4life:
@r231 from the way I could deduce the reply sent,chemo isn't even d way forward Medical people bia come and b of help here o

Idowuogbo:

Field worker ke? No oo...we just need volunteers that'll accompany Dj to his Chemo sessions. If you can do one,that would be wonderful.

pickabeau1:
Good suggestions

However it is pertinent to note the following

1. on the emmy sexy handle --> all she said based on hearsay, demsay demsay
DJdola has been posting with his handle not anyone or his brother

2. His brother may not be internet savvy to have an account. That was my impression when i met him
He can update any of the volunteers or coordinating team by phone who can make updates.

jaybee3:


Exactly but medically doctors are somewhat restricted to that as a way of controlling/eradicating the deadly thing with absolutely no guarantees.

Most people with such prognosis and usually treated as an EoL patient


It's very important that we all put heads together and endorse a plan ASAP since:
1) Hammed is very frail
2) There is the risk that it keeps spreading
3) We don't have any more time for arguments as it's very important that he embarks on whatever treatment plan the house endorses immdediately
