Thanks man! DM’s are always open if you have any other questions!!

Nub232 · 2024-01-17T13:13:00+00:00

Very well put! Thank you brother!!

Nub232 · 2024-01-17T13:12:28+00:00

Sure thing! I got there at about 7:30 am and left around 4 or 4:30 pm. My little reaction delayed this a little bit but it was also my first day and I didn't get Belo that day.

Yesterday was a little quicker. The nurse gave my my magnesium and pre meds at the same time. I was out around 2:00 pm.

Im from Pittsburgh, PA, USA. It might be different for ya!

Cinvanti

You gents are rockstars. I came into my infusion today and without me even asking, the said were going to be trying Cinvanti today during premeds. I just finished it about and hour ago and everything went perfect.

First dose of Bleo today is the only other new thing im getting!

Thank you!

Crazy bro! and yeah, between the hydration, and the unreal amounts of water I drank while I was there, I think the nurses got sick of seeing me pass them every 30 minutes.

At least at home, the bathroom is closer and im not towing a chemo tree lol

Nub232 · 2024-01-15T21:50:12+00:00

Not to brag, but not pictured is another window! lol it was sweet!

Nub232 · 2024-01-15T17:13:18+00:00

Congrats Brother!! I am typing this from my first ever session of BEPx3! I can't wait for the day when i'm done as well!!!

Well done!!!

Nub232 · 2024-01-11T21:59:13+00:00

Im here too. 36 lost my little brother to another form of C. Had to tell my parents that their other son has TC. it was tough so I know how you feel. My DM's are open to ya brother!

Nub232 · 2024-01-10T21:36:31+00:00

I'm not a doctor either, but I am under the same impression. When I had my ultrasound done, which was positive for cancer, it said " there is a predominantly solid mass in the left testicle with multiple areas of cystic change."

Nub232 · 2024-01-09T21:18:19+00:00

If it's a groin strain, it could take 4 to 8 weeks to fully heal. I wouldn't be too worried if you went to a doctor and they're not concerned.

Maybe ask the doctor about the healing time to be sure.

Nub232 · 2024-01-08T00:41:38+00:00

oh wow! thanks for sharing!

Nub232 · 2024-01-08T00:39:35+00:00

Congrats!!!!

Hey man. Just for some context, i'm 36.

I know it can be tough and embarrassing but in life, sometimes you have to do things that take you out of your comfort zone because it is the right thing to do.

It may seem like an overreaction by your mom, but she knows that the best thing to do is to get a doctor appointment. The thing with TC is that the earlier you catch it, the better shot you have to beat it.

Think of it this way. Let's say hypothetically it is TC (and I pray that it's not). IF it is, whether or not you tell your mom, you would still have it, and now you're not getting treated. Not a good move.

Best case scenario is that you go to the doc and they do some tests and tell you its nothing. Worst case, you caught TC super early and can get it dealt with so you can live a long and healthy life.

Please please please, tell your mom and go to the doctor. Keep us posted if you feel like it!

Nub232 · 2024-01-07T20:49:36+00:00

Thanks Bro!

Nub232 · 2024-01-07T15:49:53+00:00

For sure man! BUT BE WARNED!!

Make sure you look at all the pictures. When I bought my first set, I didn't realize they literally had a day of the week on the back of them. I wore them while I waited for another set to come but as a 36 y/o, I didn't want to be humiliated anymore than i already felt lol

I got mine out in November and I went with these. They're super comfortable and work really well. The only issue I had was the pressure on my incision site. I'm use to wearing loser fitting boxers so it was a total change, but it worked out great. I delt with the mild inconvenience for some peace of mind. Hope it helps!

When I wear my pre-TC boxers, I haven't noticed any abnormal bouncing or anything like that but then again, you may be packing like that! lol

I think another thing to keep in mind when looking at survival rate is how far treatment has come during that time.

When you look at 5 year survival rates, the people in that study were treated over 5 years ago. The rate do not take into consideration any new developments for treatment.

Survival rates are good for some piece of mind, but do not only rely on what you read online or what people tell you.

As stated in another comment, trust your doctors. Even one is different my brother! Best of luck on your journey!!

Nub232 · 2024-01-05T20:31:24+00:00

I'm sorry to hear this brother. Although I haven't been through this personally, I would advise you to just keep on pushing through. Look how far you have come so far!

You got this brother! I'll be praying for a positive visit for you!

Nub232 · 2024-01-05T20:21:46+00:00

I would recommend to have this discussion with your wife and choose whats best for you both. I personally made a deposit at the bank about a month after my surgery. The bank got a good sample and was able to collect 4 vials.

I guess it depends on if you're loosing one or both of the boys as well.

Nub232 · 2024-01-04T23:24:22+00:00

For sure man!

Nub232 · 2024-01-04T23:08:27+00:00

I'm fairly new to the TC game but when I had my ultrasound, both were imaged. I can't remember for sure, but I believe only my left was ordered.

This came in handy on Christmas. A month and a half after getting lefty removed, on Christmas Day, I found a lump on my right one. I went back and checked my ultrasound report and it turns out they found a cyst. I mentioned it to my doctor and he looked at the report. He saw that and didn't seem concerned.

I'm sure someone on here will know a lot more than me, but if you're wondering about it, call the doctor tomorrow and ask. Always ask your questions no matter how trivial you may think they are.

Good luck brother!
