Hi all,
I was diagnosed with testicular cancer (Seminoma/Non Seminoma TP2) in September. After having an orchiectomy very swiftly I have since been in the waiting room as so many of you must have experienced.
My tumour markers have reduced weekly, and I am now at a point where the markers are within a ‘normal range’ and my lymph nodes, although enlarged, have not increased in size.
However, I have returned from an appt with my oncologist who I have a lot of time and trust for, and have been given the option of 1 round of chemo. She informed me that there’s 50% chance of the cancer returning based on the type of cells and size of tumour. The other option is to be under close surveillance. If my markers increase or they see something sinister, I will be straight in for 3 rounds of chemo.
Im leaning towards the adjuvant chemo option as it seems like a sensible option to go through a little bit of *** to cement a healthy future.
I’m wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and would like to share?
Thanks in advance,
Tom.
