Testicular Cancer, when is chemotherapy ?

Bella2024

Hello

My husband was diagnosed with testicular cancer in June. They very quickly removed the one testical which gave confirmation. We were told he would need further treatment, but we haven't yet heard from oncology. I just wondered how long it has taken others to get an appointment to discuss further treatment? Also, I’ve read a lot about BEP with this cancer. How long does this last? Or is every case different? Sorry, but it’s all new to us. Thanks in advance.

    Hi 

    My husband (42) was diagnosed with testicular cancer on 11th June 2024 things moved very quickly he had a CT scan, ultrasound, bloods and had surgery to remove his testicle on 1st July. We had a meeting with the consultant on 8th August where we discussed options and it was agreed my husband would need 1 session on chemo. We have an appointment tomorrow 12th August for him to have a test on his kidneys ready for his chemo session on Wednesday 14th August. I’m still in shock and can’t believe it’s happening to us just trying to carry on as “normal” as much as we can. How is your husband now?
