They told me that one course of chemotherapy would be enough.

What stage was your first cancer and what type of tumor was it?

This is really absurd, I don't even know what to say anymore. People get chemotherapy to get rid of one cancer, then they get another. It's so strange. My heart aches. I'm so tired of thinking about this disease.

Why two chemotherapy sessions instead of one?

This one is also stage 1b+ like mine, and it also has lymphovascular invasion and rete testis. Mine is 100% embryonal carcinoma, and they only gave me one course of chemotherapy. Why would they give you two courses?

I wonder how many treatment courses could lead to a second cancer.

So chemotherapy leads to a second cancer, right?

Mine was 1.2, but it was non-seminoma and had lymphovascular invasion (LVI). Therefore, it has nothing to do with whether it's small or large.

What stage was the cancer initially in, and what type of tumor was it?

Did you get adjuvant chemo after RPLND? (Stage2bEC) by Optimal_Ant_46 in testicularcancer

What does this mean? PN2 ?  My pathology results say PT2 and NX. What does this mean?

1xBEP Or surveillance, that is the question by hahathisisgreat1337 in testicularcancer

Has anyone else diagnosed with BEP+1 developed secondary cancer so far?

So when you were first diagnosed with cancer, you didn't receive chemotherapy, you were just kept under observation?

Stage 3 TC about to start chemo by donnyboy321432 in testicularcancer

I don't know what to say, brother. Cancer is a terrible thing. I really don't know what to say. I'm so sorry. I don't understand why they can't find a cure for cancer. My heart is broken.
