Hi Cindi54 bladder cancer often attacks lymph nodes first but not necessarily, fat is only a protection layer Sounds like the ureter cancer is different when you don’t have bladder cancer as if you didn’t have bladder cancer there is nothing to get out of the bladder and that is why you would be having chemotherapy differently as you don’t need it in your bladder  ...

Hi Jodii, I’m really sorry to hear about Erik's situation. Managing pain with Tramadol, Lyrica, and Panadeine Forte can indeed be challenging, especially with the added stress of Chondrosarcoma. Stuttering can sometimes be a side effect of medications like Tramadol and Lyrica, though it's not a common one. Both drugs affect the central nervous system, and while stuttering isn't a widely reported side effect, it could potentially be linked to how these medications are interacting with Erik's system. It might be helpful to keep a detailed record of when the stuttering occurs and share this information with Erik's healthcare provider. They might suggest adjusting the dosages or trying alternative medications to see if it alleviates the stuttering. In the meantime, it’s important to ensure that Erik's pain is managed effectively while monitoring for any other side effects. You’re doing a great job supporting him, and I hope you find a solution that helps alleviate both the pain and the side effects. Sending you both strength and best wishes!     ... View more
