Just been diagnosed with Seminoma which is Germ Cell Tumour, normally only found in your testicals but mine is also in the cavity between my lungs and heart.
Just waiting for my initial meeting with oncology consultant.

sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
I wouldn’t be surprised if waiting for your appointment was causing you some anxiety but there’s plenty of support available should you need it.
Best wishes for you appointment.
Cheers Rich03,
Hospital phoned yesterday morning and seeing the Oncologist tomorrow (17th).
So will see what she has to say.
All the best for your appointment.
Rich.
So I have a12 cm tumour in my lung cavity along with cancerous cells on several lymph nodes in my chest and cancerous cells on my pericardium.
So Chemo for me, 3 x 21 day cycles of BEP.
Glad I know but now having to focus on the Chemo starting on the 24th July.
That must have been really difficult news for you to receive, sorry to hear about the diagnosis.
you seem like a pretty positive person, though I’m aware it’s difficult to perceive that over the internet. But there’s is plenty of emotional support available; here and elsewhere. You may find people in similar positions in the “newly diagnosed” or “living with cancer” sections too.
If you need advice about talking to family about it, there’s advice from Macmillan here.
There’s lots of information available about chemotherapy and i’ve Linked information about BEP here. I’m sure you’ve already been given lots of information sheets though.
Feel free to keep in touch. Best wishes for your treatment.
Rich
