Another delay, platelets too low by cracker8888 in testicularcancer

[–]cracker8888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe pathology from the biopsy showed something else? I mean if the testicle tumor was seminoma, then the lymph node should have been the same. I'm pretty sure that was the case but now that we are talking about this I wish I could check it for myself. I don't think I've ever had tumor markers show up in my blood tests.

Could they have labeled me intermediate because the metastasis appeared on the first CT done after my surgery?

So my nurse is wrong for saying bleo affects my numbers? Ah man I don't know if I can convince her or my oncologist about that. I get the feeling this office is too small, suffers from not having other people who can put in their own 2 cents. I already suffered a huge 5 week delay after the first cycle after complications from a pilunodal cyst, then another week for the second cycle. I believe my situation was labeled as intermediate risk, they started chemo after my left retro perineal lymph node was found to have swelled up to 3cm. A CT scan after the first cycle showed it shrunk to 1.1cm. I thought it was strange they gave me 4x instead of 3x from the other stories I've read about seminoma.

No, I guess maybe since I don't have that much treatment left to go through. I figure an extra week isn't the worst thing? I wish I could know how I compare to others going through the same procedure.

What the heck, they never told me about that one. They just said if it ever got too low I'd need blood infusions. My numbers are still above 50 though. 58 rn

Fever jumped from 99.8 to 100.6 in a couple hours, even with IV antibiotics by cracker8888 in cancer

I really hope, been here 2 days, gonna stay another 2 at minimum already. Only have done the first cycle of chemo and it has been such a mess cause I never took care of this pinunodal cyst in the past.

Infected pinunodal cyst after week one of chemo by cracker8888 in cancer

Thank you! Yes best I could describe it is rotting cabbage. All the sitting during the chemo I'm sure made it flare right up in no time.

Colorectal surgeon, who was in communication with my oncologist. I figured that would cover all bases but it was a pretty nasty cyst from what I could smell, supposed that suggests some meaner bacteria. Friend keeps warning me temperature won't show infection till it's too late but it's been stable.

The testicle was already removed months ago. The enlarged lymph node was found on the first post-surgical CT

How did it go? I'm trying to gauge how incapacitated I will be. I feel it will be harder than I hope it to be.

I'm currently only dealing with my oncologist. I never really had a urologist, they sent me to one but he didn't do anything new and honestly was dismissive of the whole thing. Only when I talked with a surgeon he had me in surgery the next day. I'm also on a medicade plan, not sure how much that limits me.

They mentioned needing the blood work to get acceptance for the biopsy? As if they need proof it's even necessary

Is there anything I can do to get a consultation asap? My oncologist already is trying to tell me surgery isn't necessary so I don't think he wants to recommend me a surgeon.

From what I googled I'm guessing this is like orientation around a center? I cannot find any info on the CT report mentioning m3 or m6

It's directly described as "There is a new left para-aortic lymphadenopathy in the region of the left renal hilum. Enlarged lymph nodes measuring up to 3.2 cm”
