Clear, but still on a therapy plan

Offline teepee70 over 5 years ago

So i recent had a testicle removed, but the CT Scan shows all clear.

But given the opition to go for Carboplatin Chemotherapy. but if i do there is 2 verisons!, over a set period or one shot.

I only had the Chat with the consultant a few days ago giving me time to think on the treatment i would like to go with.

Three days later, i have now recived my appointment to vist the Health & Welfare event to discuss more. which is this coming week.

Any help or advice, i know its not much to go on, but its come a bit sudden and not much time to think it over.

Thank You

Hi teepee70,
I'm glad to read the scan showed the all clear, and I hope you're getting on OK with everything.
Unfortunately I'm not really able to advise on this but of course do make sure you ask any questions you have and discuss everything at your appointment.
If you'd like to talk anything through with our nurses prior to that, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.
Otherwise if anyone here has any similar experience or advice to share then hopefully they'll be along soon.
Wishing you all the best,
Ben
