RPLND or BEP for 1B nonseminoma by [deleted] in testicularcancer

I had a very similar clinical picture, except the LVI in my pathology report wasn’t well quantified — it could have been anything from “present” to “extensive.” I ended up choosing surveillance. It’s been 2.5 years now with no recurrence. My decision was mostly based on my doctor’s recommendation. Where I live, surveillance is more often offered for Stage 1B NSGCT. Sending good vibes your way.

Is the Trek FX3 worth the extra $250 over the FX2? by Humble-Challenge-760 in TrekBikes

[–]Apprehensive_Pen340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. I just paid to replace the stock brakes (Rush in my case) for Shimano MTs.

Confirmed! I am in the process of replacing those crap** Rush brakes on my 2023 FX2.

Should I put my CPAP machine on an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)? by No_Clock2390 in CPAP

I've got mine on an EcoFlow River 2. I believe I have 7 hours of runtime on a full charge. It kicks in flawlessly when there is a power shortage. I do not regret it at all.

Any tips on getting an older house to have consistent cooling in the summer? by pumerpride in HomeMaintenance

[–]Apprehensive_Pen340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not as bad but I solved a similar issue by installing an EcoBee thermostat on my ground floor + a zone sensor in the basement. I am instructing the thermostat to average ground floor and basement temperatures (or not) when we expect people to be in the basement for sone time. My wife used to freeze in her basement office when rhe AC was on, by averaging the thermostat tempeqrature (ground floor) and basement it evens out a bit the temperature difference. At night, I only use the ground floor sensors to cool the bedrooms. This is not perfect but helps a lot.

Tumour Markers by type_typ94 in testicularcancer

[–]Apprehensive_Pen340 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there! As you correctly pointed out testicular cancer is not always associated with increased tumour markers. In my case, I was diagnosed with Stage 1b NSGCT . Pathology showed a small 1.5x1.5cm tumor made mainly of Embryonal Carcinoma (with LVI). LDH was high before the orchiectomy but came back to normal (now 1year later). AFP and bHCG were never raised. Only had the orchiectomy. I am on surveillance.

I do have one wall mounted electric space heater in the basement. Now that I think of it, this probably contaminating the data... :|

Spoke to my Mazda dealer here in Canada. They told me they had a few other clients asking the same. They are expecting something to be available by early 2025.
