I know exactly how you feel, I had seminoma 3 years ago diagnosed as stage 1 in remission as no spread from the affected testicle they removed for biopsy. My last scan result last week was told they found a abnormal lymph node in my left lung and want another CT scan done at the end of next month. It's terrifying to hear but and I'm extremely anxious about it as well. My minds calmed down a lot since last week and I've been writing a journal every day to get things off my chest. I'm awaiting the tumor markers blood test results as I might get to see them as my go arranged them before the hospital had a chance. I'm a very mild asthmatic so there is a possibility it's just a bit of scaring but it's still scary to think of.  I lost my dad 10yrs ago to lung cancer which hasn't been helping my nerves.

I didn't think of it first time whilst I was going through the diagnosis of my testicular cancer. Wish I had, gave me a great excuse to buy the kindle scribe id been eyeing up to help me in work. Been the best thing I've ever done. Don't write a huge amount but it's allowed me to put into words my feelings and thoughts. Along with just general what's gone on in the day. I share my my feelings fairly well with my wife but she suffers from depression so I don't feel like I can burden her too much for other own health.

I'm sure it will be fine for the two of us. Fingers crossed for you 

I 100% understand,sometimes we look strong and have to be strong ,to help family and friends also deal with the situation..When I know my results I will add to the chat,

I've finally received the letter detailing the conversation I attempted to have on the phone when told they had seen something. They believe it to be a perifissural lymph node in the right lung (I'm sure they said left lung...) it's 9mm in size and stable but have another CT scan for next month to make sure.

it's good you've heard,and that you are getting another CT scan,I dont know what a perifissural node is(I wont Dr  Google it(I promised myself never again)Too many sleepless nights.My consultant said I'd get mine Sept/October and he will see me end of October,for a face to faceif you.ook at your positives STABLE is a great word.It would make me feel more relaxed,so once again good luck

I had my CT last week n the nodule disappeared. As yours is stable it might mean only monitoring is needed. I hope you will be Okay too in your next scan. 

Chui

I got my bloods back today the AFP and HCG were both completely fine the LDH was a bit high but still within normal levels. I'm expecting everything to come back as fine when I next speak to the consultant. Feeling like a massive weight has been lifted, just got to hope the hopes aren't dashed now

Sounds excellent,glad its lifted some weight..keep happy and positive
