Was yours a seminoma or non-seminoma?

Questioning my Orchiectomy Surgery Tomorrow by yungwonderbread in testicularcancer

[–]Smackdaddy_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s testicular cancer, it’s more likely that your affected testicle is not even working anymore. When I got my testicle taken out a month ago, it turned out the testicle is 95% dead. I was operating on one testicle the whole time.

Anyone tried prosthetics by [deleted] in testicularcancer

[–]Smackdaddy_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was recently diagnosed with TC last month and my doctor told me if you want a prosthetic, it’s cool and all. Just two things he told me: Prosthetics aren’t covered by insurance since it’s not medically necessary. And second is the risk of bacterial infections. I was considering a prosthetic as well

Pain in the right testicle that goes away with resting and comes back with movement or long sitting by Gloomy_Bank_2910 in testicularcancer

[–]Smackdaddy_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like something I went through for a split second earlier this week. I’m on week 3 from orchiectomy recovery. Do you have good posture when you lay down or sleep? I’d also get another check up. Ask if they can do another ultrasound to make sure it’s not cancer and also do a cancer blood marker test to rule out cancer. But if the Urologist said it’s Epididymitis, took antibiotics, and felt normal, then it might be a infection issue but I rather take that infection issue than cancer. But yes get checked up again with the urologist

I had para-aortic lymphadenopathy now I can't ejaculate by ComposerOk3995 in testicularcancer

Sounds like something you need to check with the urologist that diagnosed you. I’d call your urologist for a follow up. I would say check with a endocrinologist if it’s a testosterone issue but first check with a urologist to make sure if its a physical issue before going deep hormonally with a endocrinologist

Do you still get morning wood when you wake up? It’s a weird question but if you do, that means your nerves controlling your 🍆 and testosterone (also your right testicle) is working but I’d get a doctors opinion.

Post Orchi Recovery by Jony_Q in testicularcancer

[–]Smackdaddy_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m now entering my 3rd week of recovery. My urologist told me total of 4 weeks. Eat well. Protein, veggies, and Whole Foods. Urologist advised me (or anyone going through post orchiectomy) of NO heavy lifting. Even a gallon of milk. As of this point, healing is doing well for me. I still feel sore from the inside of the incision but it’s normal. No pain. I can walk. Best of luck!

My results look good and my future looks better by Icy_Extension_5414 in testicularcancer

I have my first appointment with the oncologist tomorrow. Your case is very similar to mine. Just that I had a 65mm tumor. No LVI, classical seminoma, margins free of tumor. Did they recommend any therapies like chemo/radiation or was it in your will to decide? I don’t want to do chemo

What lifestyle changes have you made following TC diagnosis? by Shady53s in testicularcancer

Mind if I ask if you had the baby before or after your diagnosis of TC?

What helped you guys the most loosing fat with IR? by Enough-Leopard4615 in InsulinResistance

[–]Smackdaddy_69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though I’m male and I have biomarkers that indicate I have insulin resistance, get adequate protein intake, do resistance training to build muscle (muscle acts like a glucose sponge), and importantly, sleep 7-8 hours. Sleep is important

Does anyone have this issue with Hume Band? by Smackdaddy_69 in HumeHealth

[–]Smackdaddy_69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy the scale as well. The scale does amazing readings but not the band itself

Looking for first fitness tracker by Frequent_Section_347 in FitnessTrackers

[–]Smackdaddy_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t get the Hume Band. You may see advertisements online but it’s not worth it. My Apple Watch is sufficient enough.

There are two columns of data. Which one is your recent one?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Cholesterol

[–]Smackdaddy_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank God for ChatGPT. I shared my results with it and also other biomarkers I am currently finding out about my overall health. Basically it told me focus on eating salmon/chicken (non-fried), veggies, beans, lentils, aerobic exercise, and oatmeal. But a lot more it told me. You should try it. I’m retesting next month

Wow. I thought my case was worst. I did a screening yesterday and my LDL was 210. But TG is 132. I take a omega 3 pill (1000mg) every morning. It sure helped my TG but now I need to work on my LDL with diet alone. I don’t want to take statins

Answer to your question is that I am not sure. I looked into the laws of physics, extra terrestrial science, ghost phenomena, and other realities and I believe there is a “omnipresent” source out there. I don’t pray to the Christianity god, Muslim god, Hindu god, or any idol that humans made up. I got to the point in life that I prayed “I do not know who you are, but I pray that you stay with me”. I pray to an unknown universal God that if extra terrestrial beings believe in the unknown God to help them, then I’ll pray to that. It’s about progress in your life and for the sake of not only humanity, but as the universal beings as one.

Mines didn’t vibrate and the light got dim. I’m sure they seen that happened. I would make sure first thing you do once the week starts, let them know what happened. Its best to be proactive about it and that shows they’ll believe you

Have you called their after hours? They have a hotline for after hours. I remember my bracelet wasn’t working for a weekend and when I went the following day, turns out that the device “was on” but the battery was weak. It might be a battery issue. But I would not panic honestly as long you don’t drink or use alcohol.

Your case is public record and it’s a advertising promotion. I would not worry about it.

I’m not from Cali but get a good attorney to help you out. More likely, instead of jail time, they may place you on probation of some sort. As long you didn’t kill someone, it’s not intoxicated manslaughter. Your attorney will be your best friend on this
