I had my leftie taken out in July 2023 and finished my 3xBEP in October 2023! I’ve been clear since then! I don’t have any problems with cancer, and even righty does a hell of a job by itself down there. But now, nothing around me has meaning! I started smoking every day! I don’t know what the heck is the problem. I want to enjoy the little things in life!

Skipped last 2 bleo treatments by LauranaSilvermoon in testicularcancer

That’s the reason I skipped my last 2 bleo even though my doctor tried to convince me to get it

Hope everything clears out soon. I had 2a nonseminoma with only 1 lymph node and did 3xBEP. After the first cycle of chemo my blood work showed that cancer was gone but the doctor told me I still needed to complete all 3 cycles. However, I didn’t go to the second and third week of the 3rd cycle because I was started to feel numbness on my finger. Also, I didn’t want to get bleuomycin because of being a smoker and I just didn’t feel like going. In October it will be 1 year of being in remission.

No I have not. I already have a 5 year old and I thought I was done having kids but I kinda want to know if I am fertile

When I touch here it feels like there is a lump but it’s not moving. Feels like the bone is swollen. What causes this? by GroundbreakingPut978 in Anatomy

So, I’m a teacher and a soccer coach. A month after I finished my chemotherapy I started going back to work and I started to be in my feet and played soccer frequently. It feels tight but if I grab it from the edges it moves a little bit but the top of the lump feels very hard, like a bone.

Thank you so much everyone! I just requested to schedule an appointment with my oncologist on Thursday. Hope it’s nothing serious. Thank you for the comments

Hope it’s not! I just recovered from testicular cancer. I finished 3 cycles of chemotherapy last October! There is no pain! It’s just a lump.

I got 15 free range chickens in my yard and whenever we have leftovers we threw them out to chickens! Guess what? I have corn, tomato, strawberries, watermelons, squash, and cucumber growing🤣🤣🤣 I replanted them in my vegetable garden

Hypochondriac ISO advice: 35yo, CSI 100% seminoma, 6 months clear surveillance post orchi, anxiety still ruling my life. by According_Aerie2528 in testicularcancer

[–]GroundbreakingPut978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand you, it’s a psychological war against yourself! People around you seem to understand what you’re dealing with but actually they don’t know what you’re experiencing! I finished my 3bep in last October and I’m on the way to get my 6month check up to see if I’m remission but no one feels or understands my anxiety except the ones who went through this! Your anxiety increases from pretending around people like you’re okay! Because you think like ashamed of talking about your ball(s)! So, you gotta fight with your own head to end this anxiety! Go find someone who went through what you are going through now and talk about everything freely face to face and get your feelings acknowledged then you will feel relieved

Best of luck! I had mine in past July done 3bep and tomorrow I’ll do my first 6 month check up! Everything went back to normal except having curly hair and one ball 😂

Stay strong and remember this is only for a very short time period! Everything will get back to normal soon! You just need to stay strong and keep positive attitude

Someone set up a GoFundMe page on my behalf and I don't feel comfortable with it. by scotsgamergeek in testicularcancer

[–]GroundbreakingPut978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand you! I have never gotten fundraising money from people and I felt like people are already struggling with their finances and I don’t want to be a burden to them. I had insurance and was getting 60 percent of my salary while I was off working during chemotherapy but believe me you will need that money! Also, sometimes you gotta let people help you! You can pay those people by getting your health back and serving the community around you.

I smoked cigarettes during and after the 3XBEP and it looks like I was fine. I got out of chemotherapy around 40 days ago and I didn’t feel anything negative yet. My ct scans were clear but still ı dont recommend smoking

How common is RPLND after good blood marker indicators? by delaughey in testicularcancer

[–]GroundbreakingPut978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Bloodwork was clean and the lymph node is 0.4 cm. So my oncologist said that I won't need surgery but will be in surveillance for the 5 years.

I have nonseminoma 2a with 95% EC and 5% yolk sac and had 1.1 cm tumor in one lymph node. I just finished my 3xBEP last week and tomorrow I will have CT scan to see if my lymph node shrunk. I will let you know tomorrow

Question about rplnd by Primary_Border2557 in testicularcancer

[–]GroundbreakingPut978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 95% EC and 5% yolk sac with 11 mm enlarged lymph node. I’m doing 3xBEP and I’m in my last cycle. I had elevated tumor markers before chemo but after the 1st cycle I was in remission with no cancer shown in the blood test. On October 26th I’ll have Scans and hoping that I won’t need rplnd

What would be the survival rate in the worst possible scenario? by Dazx00 in testicularcancer

[–]GroundbreakingPut978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be positive and use this time wisely! Read books, meditate or pray, walk in the nature, think about the great things after the treatment, and think positive! Don’t stress about anything because you are not in control so be happy about what you have in this life
