I am sorry to hear you got admitted due to a large clot and infection and that they found that tumour markers are still high. I hope that they are looking after you well and that the infection clears very quickly.
I thought I would put you in touch with other members of the forum who have had an orchidectomy as it does help to talk to others who have been there before and have recovered. You may be interested in reading [@mickomag]'s story on this thread. He had an emergency radical orchidectomy so would be a good person to chat to so don't hesitate to respond to his thread if you wish to.
You can read more about the orchidectomy on this page and if you wanted to talk to one of our cancer nurses about anything, don't hesitate to give them a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
I hope things improve for you and that the infection clears.
