BS: The latest on Kendall (updated 2011)

This is going on email, Mudcat and Facebook.

Kendall had his latest bout with surgery today, ostensibly to remove a further cancer from his vocal cord. Unfortunately, once they got in there, his surgeon found that the vocal cords were totally shot, with cancer spreading and radiation having done the rest of the damage. As a result there is too much damage to be able to do anything via the mouth.

Dr Zeitels now tells us that he will need to do a partial laryngectomy, taking away the infected skin on Kendall's throat, which Dr Z. thinks is connected to the vocal cord problem, and then to take away and replace his larynx, using donated aorta for that job.

The surgery will require the talents of Dr Z., a cardiac surgeon and a plastic surgeon. We are being allowed to wait until after the Grammys, at the end of the month, but it must be done then.

Kendall will be in hospital for at least two weeks afterward and then there will be work needed to tweak the new materiel to give some voice, over a period of time. How long this will take and what it will entail we don't know right now – we're both rather shellshocked.

I don't believe (?) this type of cancer grows that fast, and we're only talking a couple weeks here.

He's in the right place and has the right doctor. Aside from that, everything sucks. This whole turn of the wheel, starting about when the leaves fell, sucks.

Kendall knows how we feel about him--all of us who are his friends. BOTH of you know how much you are loved by friends, not to mention your family. There is hope, if Dr Z is talking about re-building. Another place to start. Love you guys.

Dr. Zeitels is obviously out there on the cutting edge.....no pun intended there. That's a pretty new technique and a lot of sites never mention it.

Yeah....Its bad news but,not to sound like Pollyanna, the fact that he can remove all the cancer and give some possibility of voice is at the least encouraging.   A partial also means there will be no permanent stoma and gives you a shot at something a whole helluva' lot better than a complete one.

Now go kick a wall, buy a ball bat and beat the hell outta' a guardrail somewhere and whatever else. This sucks.........

No words beyond that.........just fuck........

Jacqui and Kendall, you have been so incredibly patient, and have gone through so much together, but I remember when this first started, Kendall complaining about a sore throat, a few strings pulled, getting in to see the right doctors. And Jacqui came along in the midst of all of this. There's something magical about you two, and I think you still have a few miracles to go before this cancer drama is finished and that cancer is defeated.

Of course you'll be timing this surgery however it feels good for you. Everyone wants it over as soon as possible with the best outcome possible, so if the Grammy's are part of that best outcome formula, more power to them.

The other night I dreamt about a musical gathering in a large house (?) and Jacqui and Kendall and lots of others were there. KT was there too and she sang first. And then Kendall sang- we were all agog over how strong his voice was- not all the way back to before all this began but definitely stronger than it's been the last while. Kenall didn't have much to say, just grinned and grinned.

I'll hold on that to that thought.

An abstract from Kendall's doctor:

--

Optimizing voice after endoscopic partial laryngectomy.

Zeitels SM.

Department of Otology and Laryngology, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Harvard Medical School, 243 Charles Street, Boston, MA 02114, USA. [e-mail]

Phonosurgical management of early and midsized glottic cancer has evolved considerably during the past decade. There has been a partial migration from transcervical to transoral partial laryngectomy to diminish perioperative morbidity (ie, tracheotomy) and to facilitate subsequent voice restoration. After an endoscopic partial laryngectomy heals, a medialization of the glottal neocord should be done. An endolaryngeal injection or transcervical medialization is used to reconstruct the glottal valve and the associated aerodynamic competency, which ultimately enhance voice quality. These reconstructive techniques will improve the voice outcome subsequent to almost any endoscopic vertical partial laryngectomy; however,a near-normal conversational level voice can be achieved inpatients in whom there is one remaining normal vocal fold. These favorable results are based on the fact that after effective glottal closure is achieved through the reconstruction, the primary oscillator is the layered microstructure of noncancerous glottal tissue.

--

Sorry for the medical language. If I read that right, it means that Kendall's prognosis could be very positive, though maybe not "near normal conversational." I have seen throat cancer yield much worse results than this. I also glean that Kendall's surgeon is a real specialist in this area.

Of course, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Is there a doctor in the house?

Thanks all. It's good to have such friends.

We're back home now and feeling a bit more positive about what is to come.

I have two weeks to go into full organising mode.

I will be working on an entertainment kit for Kendall - a good set of noise reduction headphones and, most likely a basic Ipod stocked with the music he enjoys, his Walkman for tapes and a selection of books. We will have to check if they can supply a laptop or if he can have his in the hospital. whatever we can do to make the stay more tolerable will be worth it in the long run.

I will be staying with his daughter in Derry NH, probably taking Seamus with me, so will need my own survival pack of books and craftwork etc.

His daughters will be involved in the planning, so I don't have to go it alone. We will get through all of this and, with luck and a good surgeon, there could be more voice in the future.

When I went to bed Friday night I thought what if I don't wake up? Would I really give a shit? It kept me awake all night thinking, what could be worse than a singer losing his voice; then it dawned on me; losing his whole voice box and talking through a sound amplifier. Felt pretty sorry for myself for a while, then Jacqui and I talked it over and she reminded me that I have been saying all along that I would do almost anything to get my voice back, and this is the only shot I have available. In addition, I am involved with the best in the business; if he's good enough for Julie Andrews he's good enough for me.

So, as soon as they schedule the butchery I'm off to Bean Town and two weeks of misery in a friggin' hospital.

Two reasons why I could stand it:

Korea. I learned to love hot foods. I also did some research on it. Basically, the 'hot' is just sensed and, while it increases blood flow because your body thinks it's being burnt, there's no actual damage. I gather that if it seriously fools your body, you can end up with blisters. I'm not sure how that works.

Sorry for the thread creep. Back to Kendall and his proclivities.

And speaking of Thread Creeps, I thought I'd drop by and see if Kendall is still feeling himself.

Actually Kendall has an ulterior motive.....not that he doesn't enjoy the act but he also saw a Doc down in Boston who said he could transplant the hair from the Captain's hands to his head and cure Kendall's baldness. Then all he'll have to deal with is the accompanying blindness...............

We've just had one of the best days.

Coffee with an old, dear friend this morning, time spent with Tom Coward (Mr Trubrit) making out wills and power of attorney.

We got home to a phone call from Gordon Bok, asking if he could come over and play us a tune. We thought about it and decided, since we weren't doing anything else, that we could spare the time. :0)

Shortly after Gordon got here two of Kendall's daughters, Debra and Rebecca, turned up, unexpectedly. Gordon played us his tune on his new Apollonio guitar and then played and sang a few other songs for us.

Now, how many people can say that they've had a Gordon Bok mini concert in their own sitting rooms?

Kendall's girls also gave him the DVD of Clash Of The Titans, which we have just finished watching this evening.

Oh, and I've just found out that my range has increased to where I can just get away with singing Danny Boy.

Deb gave Kendall a black tee shirt with the legend 'Heavy Mental Music' emblazoned across the front and a diamonte skull and crossbones motif, just to finish the effect.

I've told Kendall that this will go very well with his dark blue suit - not worn since 1987, but which fits him very well - that he will be wearing for the Grammys.

I'll make sure to get photos.

I know this because I was one of the first that was called by you folks after the day you decided to do it. That is only important in that I pretty well know how this went because I was there early. The thing got nominated because very talented, and well known, artists got involved along with us ordinary folks. That happened initially (and mainly) because of your ability to pick a phone and call. That is to say, it happened because you are so well respected among these stellar performers.

Good as place as any to note my opinion of Beyonce and the grammy sweep; While I think she is a good Vegas nite club act, giving every grammy in the world to this lady is a waste of good brass. She dances , if you think stripper moves is dancing, and carries tunes that are harmonious - my ass. It was a wonderful moment at the inauguration ball when she sang 'At Last', but so was Bette Midler when she sang Long long road to Carson on his last show. Being realistic I suppose those highly invested in music sales feel that Beyonce will get them more bang for their grammy advertising buck...but 6 of em is over the top for some tunes that were really slop.

He rose from the table and started for the garbage can... I hollered "Don't spit that in the garbage... it'll stink the place up." He was gagging all the way out the door and to the woods.

Yeah, that was kinda mean of me... we tried to stifle the laughter, but not a hope.

The swearing startede as soon as he spat three or four times and got louder as he approached the camp. He went straight for tin and realized his mistake. F***! He looked at another tin... F***! the last tin... F***! F***! F***! And apologized profusley.

We talked about this earlier. We have decided to start a new thread, probably Tuesday morning, just before we head for the hospital.

We're a bit annoyed right now - we're due down in Boston tomorrow to see Dr Z and were told yesterday that we will have to also go for Kendall to have another CAT scan - the third in a year.

Today we got a phone call - they wanted us there at 8.00am tomorrow form a pre-op exam for the anasthesiologist. We pointed out that, with a two hour journey from Portland, there was no way we were going to be able to do that. Now we have to kick our heels from 1.00pm to 2.00pm, between the CAT scan and the pre-op and hope that they can do that at the given time to allow us to get back to the 2.30 bus, otherwise there will be more heel kicking until the 3.30 bus!

Needless to say, we made our feelings pretty clear - the person we spoke to was unable to say why we hadn't been told about this earlier in the week. We are heading up state when we get back and a delay will make it even later to get there tomorrow evening.

I've got no problem with these tests, but a bit more notice would be nice.

Shucks, Kendall. This past July I walked into the hospital at 5:30 a.m for rotator cuff surgery and the admitting clerk wanted $600. I'm not at my best at that hour, especially since they won't let you eat anything, and my wife's worse -- especially since we had a letter from Blue Cross stating that it was all to be covered.

Let's just say that the admissions clerk was going to learn some new, highly colored language when she decided to let us go without paying the money. I don't know if she was psychic or it was the steam coming out of my ears, but something tipped her off.

Couple weeks later the same thing happened to my doctor when his wife was having a baby. He paid, realizing only later that he should have said, "Gee, I left my checkbook at home and I don't have that much on me. Just lay on the floor right here, dear, and...."

May cheer you up a bit Kendall.

Did you hear about the poor bloke who found his dog stiff as a board at the bottom of the garden? He picked it up and rushed it to the vet but the vet just shook his head and said the dog was dead. Wanting to be sure the man asked the vet to double check so the vet went in the back room, came out with a cat in a basket, waved it over the dog and then took the basket back. Confirming that the dog was definitely dead he presented the man with a bill for £100. £5 for his time and £95 for the cat scan...

I am in the UK and although I had private health insurance I was advised that I didn't need it.

So I went on our much criticised National Heath with much trepidation.

I was not messed about like you and Kendall appear to be.

Things just went like clockwork and everyone was in the right place at the right time to suit us. This went on right through my half a dozen laser surgiry ops and 32 days radio treatment and several years aftercare.

My son had a CT scan on Saturday morning last weekend. He couldn't sleep during the night and woke his Dad early. He's had this three or four times before, a sharp abdominal pain that we THINK is migraine related. Two emergency room trips in the past to children's hospital took so long that the pain passed. We all agreed, if it happened again, we'd go to the nearer regular hospital.

Okay so far. They put him on morphine for the pain, and did the scan. Surgeon comes in and says he probably has appendicitis. There is a slightly elevated white count, and the appendix is a little large, though it is still in the range of normal (and this is a tall kid). Surgeon wanted to do surgery that afternoon, despite the constipation that probably triggered the migraine pain (as light is a photo trigger for migraine headaches). "Can you do the surgery with his gut full?" The answer was yes, but then as he goes through the list of risks, there is that pesky "risk of damage of other organs or tissues by accidental cut or poke." And he didn't really know if it was appendicitis, "but if this happens again, you can rule out appendicitis." Not good enough reason for the surgery, IMHO.

We declined the appendectomy. He went back to Dad's, took a laxative the doctor recommended, and was fine the next day. We're following up with his regular GP on the migraine problem.

Geez.

Main reason I told that story was the accessibility of the CT scan. But I think the fact that we live in a large urban area and visited a busy hospital district is the reason this scan was available on demand.

One has to wonder if any of the legislation that is hanging in the balance now would help distribute access to these kinds of technologies. Some places have a glut while others experience a dearth of services.

Good luck with the upcoming procedures, Kendall and Tom.

Dont you read anything you didn't write? :-)

Rep. John Murtha went into the hospital for gall bladder surgery and his "Doctor" nicked his intestine and peritonitis killed him. My carotid artery is awful close to where he is going to be cutting.

I'm off to Boston today for the cut and paste. It's a major operation which will cost me much of my voice box. It can take up to 8 hours, and I will need a breathing tube for a week or so. And, there is a 10% chance that I will need that forever.

I won't be able to keep up with e mails or the mudcat but Jacqui will.

Captain,
No two people should worry about the same thing at the same time. It is a waste of time and energy. I can name a few dozen people worried about you this time around so that means you get to concentrate on healing. Just relax and go to sleep and when you wake up it will be all over. Once you know the outcome, you can deal with it.
Whine away, Sweetie.

We just returned from Boston and my routine exam with Doctor Zeitels. Again no sign of cancer and he is very pleased. Next visit is in April, so they are coming further apart each time.

He also told us that I am probably going to be the subject of an article in the New England Journal of Medicine for the work we are doing.

The big hold up now is funding. This research requires huge amounts of money, and it's a catch 22 situation. He has to offer evidence that what he wants to do will work, and the only way he can do that is to do the research which costs money! It's like if you want to borrow money from a back you must show that you don;t need it.

This would be an interesting discussion for Diane Rehm to set up someday on her WAMU-FM talk show. She has spasmodic dysphonia and went through a lot of trouble to figure out the problem and devise a treatment. I don't think she sees Dr. Z, but Julie Andrews does, and Julie Andrews has been on Diane's program to talk about voice things on several occasions. Wouldn't it be interesting if all of you, Diane, Julie, Kendall, and Dr. Z, could discuss this kind of breakthrough surgery in an intelligent venue that might shake loose a few coins from funders who might hear the program? Maybe you should ask your Dr. Z to speak to Andrews or contact Rehm's program directly.

Date: 27 Jan 11 - 09:17 PM

I think unless a clear topic is concisely articulated, the Rehm folks might not be interested. They address one topic in each hour, and it can be wide reaching, but they do stay on topic. The best person to approach this is probably the doctor himself, unless he has someone who handles his publicity (Not everyone is Dr. Oz -- but acutally, that is another place where you might get a segment in on this kind of cutting-edge research). Have Dr. Z's folks prepare a clear statement of the issue at hand, the research in the offing, and people who have been touched by this. Michael Douglas has been in the news most recently, is this related?

If the doctor first ran the proposal for the discussion past one or two possible big name guests to join him in the segment (so there is scheduling wiggle room, assuring at least one of these patients is in the studio with the doctor), then he could present the proposal and the possible guests to the Diane Rehm show, and see what they say. If Kendall is mentioned as the current study case, that's up to all of you, and up to Rehm's folks if he would be able to speak or someone speak for him, whatever. He might not be part of it at all - too many people in the studio and it gets complicated.

If this adds up to funding for an important procedure that would just happen to benefit our Kendall, then let them be flexible about who is interviewed. The point is, you want people to know about it.

Kewl, either way, guys. My brother told me about the Broads as he saw them interviewed on 60 minutes (which he never watches, just caught it on the fly.)

I hope it helps.

I used to watch 60 minutes every Sunday, but it looks like they have dumped Andy Rooney, so I've dumped them.
