Brian Mushlin was only 40 when he was diagnosed with aggressive bladder cancer. When chemotherapy failed, Mushlin, a police officer and father of three, was faced with bladder removal surgery and the possibility of having to wear a urostomy bag at all times. Fortunately, Mushlin was able to undergo neobladder reconstruction at the Brigham, an innovative procedure that rendered a bag unnecessary. Today, his cancer is in remission, and he’s resumed his active lifestyle.
I’m able to really enjoy the simple pleasures in life once again.
Duane Schmidt’s essential tremor was so severe, it made everyday tasks—like drinking coffee, buttoning a shirt, or typing and writing—difficult. Then he learned about a novel procedure at the Brigham that changed his life. After clinicians performed the noninvasive surgery, called focused ultrasound therapy, the tremor on Schmidt’s right side was resolved, allowing him to enjoy that morning cup of coffee—and so much more.
