This time last year I found a lump.on one of my testicles which was found to be cancerous. Orchidectomy performed September and 1 round of chemo in Nov/Dec. All was good surgeon happy everything clear. 

3 month check up x Ray and blood test n March all good consultant happy.

6 month check up in June routine x ray, blood test and Abdominal CT scan, ct scan delayed due to covid 19 but consultant reports x ray and blood test all good. Abdo ct scan came through near end June went for it and 2 days later got phone call saying I had to have a Chest CT.. Alarm bells were ringing a little now so off I toddle for a chest CT on the 30th June. I have a scheduled OP telephone consult booked for 8th July at which point he tells me they discovered a 'dot' at the base of my left lung on the Abdo CT hence the quick follow up Chest CT to confirm.

He said I needed a PET scan and he would arrange it, well literally yesterday received phone call for a PET scan today.

I am pleased but concerned that its all happened so fast and have been given zero information on what lies ahead for me. My wife and I are in.our late 50's and its been a helluva 48 hours so far for us both.

My consultant is obviously good but has zero bedside manner and is very abrupt, along with it being a phone call it just didn't help.

The 'dot' is less than 1cm but I'm afraid it means not a lot to me.

Now the real kicker on this story is my son at 32 years of age was also diagnosed with the same thing 1 month after me, he also had the same procedure and has literally mirrored me with the exception of no chemo. He has had his 6 month CT about 2 weeks ago and has had his telephone consult changed to a face to face consult on Monday coming, as you can imagine he is now very worried at what is going to come out in his consult as am I.

PET scan this pm so will let you know what happens to both me and my son.
