Treatment stage 2 Seminoma?

Boyfriend has recently been diagnosed with stage 2 seminoma, I've been reading they the treatment for this is typical 3 cycles of BEP yet he has been told he is getting 4 cycles of carboplatin. My worry is that this won't eradicate it fully. Does anyone know why they are suggesting this route rather than BEP?

  • Hello there

    I am sorry to hear about your boyfriends situation and can understand you being worried about him and wanting the best.

    There are a few different chemotherapy regimes used for these types of tumour here and the decision for each patient is made by a team of specialists to decide the treatment to give the best outcome, given the circumstances.

    Do encourage your boyfriend to ask his team any questions he or you may have about the choice of chemotherapy so you are both fully informed  and can be reassured by any decision made.

    All the best to you both

    Naomi
