About Speb42

Hi I'm happily married I have one Daughter from a previous relationship and two step kids and in short I was diagnosed with testicular cancer in both testicals in mid December 2015. I had the right testical removed first just before Christmas and the left removed in February. I had stage 1 seminoma in both testicals thankfully it hasn't spread. I'm now on HRT for life. And have had my dose of carboplatin chemo. Should I have gone to the doctor sooner probably. Did I think my life was over after having both testicals removed definitely. But I'm still here I'm still trying to find my way and terrified the cancer will come back. I'm basically trying to put my life back together now but it is really hard I don't feel the same anymore. I won't give up but every day is a struggle. I wish I was one of those inspirational people who has faced cancer head on and beaten it. But that's not me I have been picked up on a wave and am now waiting to land.
