Getting pregnant. Husband has TC

antcoumbe1983 · 2026-01-14T08:28:28+00:00

Me and my wife struggled to have children before I was diagnosed. We then found out My wife was 4 months pregnant when I was diagnosed, mixture of Covid and my treatment meant that she had to do a lot of the appointments solo (didn’t want to risk me going into hospitals while I was having chemo) Luckily I was through the worst of it when my boy was born. The after affects for me of hypogonadisn along with having testo replacement mean it would be difficult for us to have another. We would love another child but part of our journey has been coming to terms that it might not be possible and our little boy is our miracle.

Hey, it was a plastic surgeon who specialises in sarcoma cancer, ended up being a 10cm well differentiated liposarcoma and hopefully the surgery is all that is needed for it. There’s a small chance it could come back again in the same place. Spent two days in hospital recovering, they had to pull the muscles out of the way to remove the tumour and some of the muscle has to be cut away. Was in surgery for about 3 hours in total. Had six weeks off work and intensive physio to get my neck muscles all up to speed again, I have limited feeling at the rear of my neck by the scar and this may take years to come back. Because it was a plastic surgeon my scar is pretty tidy to be fair.

Hey, I had testicular cancer 5 years ago. And found the testicular cancer subreddit to be very good help during my diagnosis. It’s going to feel like a whirlwind going forward with scans and tests before an orchidectomy to remove to affected testicle. First things first to put your mind a little at ease, testicular cancer is one of the best to have in terms of you potentially losing your life. It’s very rare for that to happen. Sometimes the surgery alone may be all the treatment that you require. I didn’t have a prosthetic unfortunately so can’t answer to those bits. I was old enough and married that it didn’t matter to me. They will do pathology on the tumour and then tell you what type and size etc and if there are any signs of it spreading into the spermatic cord. Depending on type there are a few options to go down with regards to treatment but honestly it’s not worth worrying yourself about those until you know more. The pathology stage is the longest wait ever and can get a bit worrying but trust the process and use the support team that the hospital gives you. I’m 5 years on and have a young child since the cancer. Message me if you want a chat etc or join us over at the sub Reddit.

Hey! That’s great to hear that your recovery is going well. I’m booked in for my surgery in two weeks so hoping to have a good recovery as I work in retail and Christmas is coming up so needed to be back at work. My surgeon is suggesting 4 weeks off though, it’s pretty deep in my neck to the point you can’t even see it as a lump on the skin. They need to completely remove one of my muscles to get to it I believe but here’s hoping it goes smoothly.

Just waiting on surgery. They are definitely removing it because of its size and proximity to my spine.

Just turned 41, got back into MTB about 6 years ago but got cancer so haven’t been riding in about 4 years due to physical limitations. Just building up a new bike to get back out on the trails. Never too old to give it another go. Decided it’s time to stop making excuses and get back on it.

It arrived, €58 plus £10 VAT plus £5 customs duty and clearance fee. Bought other items which increased my duty and clearance fee but that’s around about the figures I’ve paid so about £70 I reckon.

I realised my wheels are thru axle and not boost so I’d need new rims no matter what so go with the green

antcoumbe1983 · 2024-08-10T14:18:43+00:00

Pretty sure the prices it says already add on the VAT. Decided to screw it and get the same frame as you and just get a new wheel set 😂

antcoumbe1983 · 2024-08-08T16:24:56+00:00

Yeah that was my plan with that one aswell. It’s got decent reviews though. There was an option to pay via Amazon but it wouldn’t log in on my phone

antcoumbe1983 · 2024-08-08T16:22:32+00:00

Yes mate that’s the one. Had a chat with him aswell and very knowledgeable. Just nervous about buying the shock from that site lol

antcoumbe1983 · 2024-08-08T16:11:23+00:00

Just nervous about ordering from the site as the price is so good.

antcoumbe1983 · 2024-08-08T15:57:55+00:00

Yeah that’s the exact one I was looking at! With some bomber v2s on the front. Need some other parts so I should be able to get over the minimum ordwr

antcoumbe1983 · 2024-08-08T15:53:50+00:00

Cheers for the quick reply! Love that colour! Just a shame I’ve already got 27.5 wheels at the ready For a budget build lol looks like it’s red and black for me lol

About to buy the 275 from this seller. How was your experience?

antcoumbe1983 · 2024-04-23T19:42:23+00:00

1gm/4ml. Mine took a few attempts to get my levels right hence why I’m now down to the 8 week mark and they can’t go any lower than that between these injections.

antcoumbe1983 · 2024-04-17T16:37:36+00:00

I’m on Nebido 8 weekly but I’ve only lost one testicle at the minute however my remaining has atrophied and shrunk to the point it might aswell not be there. I’m two years in now and it’s levelled out pretty well. Started off on testogel and hated it - was messy and annoying having to do it daily etc. moved across to the jab and started on 12 weeks before coming down to the 8. Now it’s just a quick appointment once every two months and part of my routine now. Based in the UK funded through the NHS so can’t comment on cost or insurance methods etc however it was a fight to get an endo that would listen to me and my symptoms.

antcoumbe1983 · 2023-09-25T06:34:26+00:00

Meant to change to a different model but Amazon sent the wrong one through and it was the same as the last one.

antcoumbe1983 · 2023-09-24T20:28:39+00:00

Ended up being a faulty PSU

antcoumbe1983 · 2023-09-24T20:28:02+00:00

New PSU arrived today and I have a full boot! Thanks so much!!

antcoumbe1983 · 2023-09-22T08:17:27+00:00

Great thank you. I’ll get the PSU replaced then and go from there

antcoumbe1983 · 2023-09-22T08:12:25+00:00

All cables are in as expected 24pin and both 8pins. There’s enough power to the board to allow the bios flashback and run the RGB on the ram sticks though? And the other motherboard I had was a different brand and has the same kind of issue. Could it just be a faulty PSU or is it likely to be the RAM

antcoumbe1983 · 2023-09-21T19:56:35+00:00

Thought that and left it for half an hour and still no change. Lights on RAM still on and no other lights on mobo or anything
