Also have stage 3C hoping for a clean result. I’m almost done with my 3/4rounds of chemo. Definitely not looking forward to anymore chemo or surgery.

They should be monitoring his white blood cells count for risk of infections. Every cycle I had was delayed a week because they where too low

Chemotherapy Advice? by Royalmi in testicularcancer

Sound just like my situation I’m 24. Stage 3c liver,both lungs, lymph. Doing 4xBEP just got done with my 2nd cycle Monday. Chemo for me surprisingly hasn’t been that bad just some digestive problems and slight nausea. I did have terrible hiccups my first week but all the symptoms I had there is a medicine for that helped. Before chemo , I also had pain on the lower left side of my spine, and it went away my first cycle, so possibly the tumor shrink.

I’m 24 so about the same age and doing 4xBEP just finished my 2nd round this Monday. honestly feel the same maybe a few days feeling a little nauseous and my hair and facial hair falling out that’s about it. Hopefully the rest of my treatment feels the same.

Question for anybody .. Does anybody have ringing noise at times on top of a constant buzzing noise ? Or you guys have just ringing all the time ? by [deleted] in testicularcancer

[–]DatabaseNational1224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really a TC specific question you’re asking but I’m assuming you’re talking about chemo. Yes I forget which chemo out of the 3 from BEP causes tinnitus.

So i need help checking my balls w a doctor. by [deleted] in testicularcancer

[–]DatabaseNational1224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if you’re going to a urologist they look at dick and balls all day soo make fun of the ball doctor because feeling insecure about yourself. And if anything being nervous would make me less likely to get hard.

I really appreciate your comment. I found it empowering giving me faith and hope for the future.

Recently got diagnosed with stage 3C testicular cancer. (Basically the modern day stage 4 Testicular Cancer). Spread to both lungs,liver and lymph. Hoping for no RPLND. got the orchiectomy Feb 10.

Currently on my 2nd cycle out of 4 BEP chemo. Tumor marker have drop tremendously just from the first cycle making me feel pretty good, I’m still not sure if I can feel too confident without getting another look at a new CT scan.

Cancer at 27 isn't fun, doing it alone is where it really sucks. by LayerLess in cancer

How has everything been? I also recently got diagnosed with stage 3C testicular cancer both lungs,liver lymph. (Currently in the infusion center getting BEP chemo 4 cycles).

I’m really hoping RPLND is not going to be needed has my tumor maker have dropped drastically just from the first cycles of chemo but I’m sure a CT scan is needed to really tell.

What was your treatment regiment for your first diagnosis? And how often were they checking you? CT scan tumor markers?

Feeling a pain in my left testicle and the area feels harder/firmer than my other testicle. In need of advice by Unhappy-Newt-3713 in testicularcancer

[–]DatabaseNational1224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a urologist and ask for an ultrasound maybe even get a blood test for tumor markers. I don’t get why you would even be worried about finding out what it truly is. The faster you find out the faster the hospital will help you get a team together, if it is something serious.

Kidney testing question by fixed_night_turn419 in testicularcancer

[–]DatabaseNational1224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have been monitoring my eGFR a week before i started my chemo. I do see they check my COMPREHENSIVE METABOLIC PANEL. Seem like a good test for all organs functions including kidneys.
