Herb, de 82 a\u00f1os, vive en Little Compton (Rhode Island) con su esposa, la Dra. Bente Hoegsberg, recientemente jubilada de su consulta de obstetricia de alto riesgo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En una visita de diciembre de 2021 a su m\u00e9dico de atenci\u00f3n primaria, Herbert se someti\u00f3 a una prueba rutinaria de PSA, utilizada para detectar el c\u00e1ncer de pr\u00f3stata en los hombres midiendo el nivel de PSA en la sangre. No ten\u00eda s\u00edntomas ni molestias, pero la prueba revel\u00f3 que el nivel de PSA de Herb hab\u00eda aumentado ligeramente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e1s tarde, cuando Herb empez\u00f3 a experimentar algunas molestias p\u00e9lvicas, se le realiz\u00f3 una ecograf\u00eda y se detect\u00f3 una inflamaci\u00f3n en las ves\u00edculas seminales. Fue tratado durante un tiempo con antibi\u00f3ticos, pero en marzo de 2023, una resonancia magn\u00e9tica mostr\u00f3 una masa en la pr\u00f3stata que se extend\u00eda hasta las ves\u00edculas seminales. Una biopsia de pr\u00f3stata confirm\u00f3 el diagn\u00f3stico. c\u00e1ncer de pr\u00f3stata<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fue enviado al Centro oncol\u00f3gico de Southcoast Health en Fairhaven<\/a> para una gammagraf\u00eda \u00f3sea de medicina nuclear y una PSMA PET, en la que se inyecta un tinte radiactivo para ayudar a los m\u00e9dicos a diagnosticar mejor la extensi\u00f3n del c\u00e1ncer. Las pruebas mostraron la presencia de la enfermedad en la pr\u00f3stata y en los ganglios linf\u00e1ticos cercanos a la aorta, la ingle y el hombro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herb se reuni\u00f3 con Dr. Tushar Kumar<\/a>El Dr. Kumar, onc\u00f3logo radioterapeuta, colabor\u00f3 y se coordin\u00f3 r\u00e1pidamente con su equipo de tratamiento. El Dr. Kumar hizo que Herb y su esposa se sintieran seguros de inmediato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fue \"exhaustivo e informativo\", dijo Bente. \"Es totalmente franco: nos dice lo que se sabe y lo que no, d\u00f3nde encontrar la informaci\u00f3n y qu\u00e9 esperar con o sin tratamiento. Sus recomendaciones se basan en el cuadro completo, incluidas las \u00faltimas investigaciones. El Dr. Kumar es una persona amable y compasiva\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los tratamientos de Herb en el Southcoast Health Cancer Center fueron supervisados por el onc\u00f3logo m\u00e9dico Dra. Edress Othman<\/a>El tratamiento antihormonal consiste en inyecciones mensuales de degarelix, que suprime la testosterona, la hormona sexual masculina natural. El tratamiento antihormonal consiste en inyecciones mensuales de degarelix, que suprime la testosterona, una hormona sexual masculina natural. El bloqueo de la testosterona con degarelix reduce la propagaci\u00f3n del c\u00e1ncer de pr\u00f3stata. Adem\u00e1s, toma un comprimido diario de acetato de abiraterona, que se receta a los hombres cuyo c\u00e1ncer de pr\u00f3stata se ha extendido a otras partes del cuerpo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cinco meses m\u00e1s tarde, el Dr. Kumar recomend\u00f3 la radioterapia, ya que un nuevo estudio de gran alcance realizado en Gran Breta\u00f1a mostraba mayores tasas de supervivencia en pacientes con c\u00e1ncer de pr\u00f3stata avanzado. Inmediatamente comenz\u00f3 la radioterapia para tratar los tumores, incluidos los cercanos a la aorta de Herb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una tomograf\u00eda por emisi\u00f3n de positrones (PET) realizada en marzo de 2024 mostr\u00f3 que, aunque el c\u00e1ncer hab\u00eda alcanzado los ganglios linf\u00e1ticos, todos los tumores se hab\u00edan reducido, lo que indicaba que Herb estaba respondiendo muy bien a los tratamientos prescritos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Me siento muy bien\", dice Herb. \"Me sacan sangre todos los meses cuando voy a mis citas\". Su nivel de PSA, que hab\u00eda subido hasta 64 ng\/mL \"est\u00e1 apenas un pelo por encima de cero\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"El Dr. Othman ha sido fabuloso. A pesar de lo ocupado que est\u00e1, se sienta y habla contigo. Te sientes c\u00f3modo\", dice Herb. \"Te da esperanza\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bente tambi\u00e9n da las gracias a Sara Christian, enfermera asesora del Centro Oncol\u00f3gico de Southcoast Health, que ayuda a los pacientes y a sus familias a superar los numerosos retos a los que se enfrentan. \"Cuando hay problemas, ella los resuelve. Tener una persona a la que acudir ha sido realmente incre\u00edble\", afirma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herb dice que se siente bien, a pesar de los sofocos ocasionales que acompa\u00f1an a los f\u00e1rmacos de terapia hormonal que toma. \"Soy un joven de 82 a\u00f1os\", dijo. \"Todav\u00eda corto mi propio c\u00e9sped\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c9l y su mujer est\u00e1n deseando visitar a su hijo y sus nietos en Noruega. Tambi\u00e9n esperan hacer una escapada invernal a un apartamento que tienen en Espa\u00f1a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Me encanta la vida\", afirma. Y a pesar del diagn\u00f3stico de c\u00e1ncer, \"nada ha cambiado realmente. Mi mujer y yo estamos disfrutando de este tiempo\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herb est\u00e1 agradecido a todos los cuidadores del Southcoast Health Cancer Center de Fairhaven y del Departamento de Radiaci\u00f3n del Charlton Memorial Hospital. \"No se puede recibir mejor tratamiento en ning\u00fan sitio\", dijo. \"No puedo decir lo suficiente sobre la gente de all\u00ed\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
