New patient

Hi guys , I'm 33 years old and have been told 2 weeks ago I have testicular cancer, it's spread to my tummy and I'm struggling to eat, have been for a while, I've been to my Drs with this 7 times over a 3 year period, I'm having surgery on 2/2/17 to remove the testical, don't really know why I'm posting this , I have a 13 year old son and don't know what to expect, should I tell him?

  • Hi Carlhay. Yes tell him, I have just been diagnosed with bladder cancer and survived breast cancer 2 years ago. Treatment can be difficult so you will need all the support from your family. It is not easy telling the children but they will know something is wrong. Good luck x
