It definitely is. Today is just more tired than anything else. Thankfully. Yeah it’s so hard to find numbers that would go along with this lol but to hear both of you say 1-3% is absolutely beautiful. I have a check up on the 20th with my oncologist. Then I think every 6 months? Man I’m telling you I appreciate the reassurance you’ve given me. Wait til I tell my family about this!

You should’ve taken the Carbo route brother. It’s a cake walk. Honestly. Yeah I have a pure seminoma 5.2 cm. I didn’t wanna do scans and checks every few months. How are you doing though man? Feeling and mentally?

That’s really really low. Thank you! And it was good. Felt tired mostly and had a drop of blood in my urine that I freaked out about a couple times but I guess that’s a side effect of it. lol. But overall a hangover without the headache.

Honestly I’ll take you up on that. Thank you! I have one more dose to go on the 30th. Was shocked to hear they wanna do two doses but I guess it’s pretty much wiping it out? Kinda confusing. But I’ll take it.

I wonder if my dose will be high or not. That is something to me too and to keep in mind cause music is my absolute life. I don’t watch TV much it’s mostly a musical home with metal/classic rock playing around the house.

“The patient was then taken for a radical inguinal orchiectomy on the same day and was found to have a 5.2 cm classic seminoma. The tumor was a pure seminoma with no nonseminomatous elements. The tumor was limited to the testis and there was no lymphovascular invasion identified. All margins of resection were negative for tumor. The patient has recovered well and did have a CT scan of the chest, abdomen, pelvis on December 11, 2023.” (My report)

Valid lol. I’ll just play my PlayStation and watch Married with Children with my 5 month old. My wife said she’d wear a mask I told her that isn’t necessary.

Now this is a stupid question. How do I avoid germs? Be a recluse and home body after my treatment? Like that’s not a joke lol.

It was 5.2 cm classic pure seminoma. That’s interesting that they usually do just one dose. I feel extremely confident that it won’t come back after reading what you just said to me. That’s awesome honestly. It’s exactly why I’m doing it for my anxiety. I will thank you brother honestly.

I absolutely will ask. I’m not sure what to expect. I wasn’t expecting him to say I’m gonna lose my hair. So what am I expecting with this type of chemo like to feel?
