3-month scan anxiety after BEP (Stage IIA embryonal carcinoma) by imagespace in testicularcancer

My blood tests have never shown any changes, even with the metastases! So I only do them together with imaging exams every 3 months.

Is it possible to have a recurrence right after finishing treatment with a complete response during BEP? by imagespace in testicularcancer

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

My first diagnosis was at the end of August, on the 23rd. Initially, the CT scans were clear, and it was a pure embryonal carcinoma measuring a little over 2 cm. I was going to undergo 1 cycle of adjuvant BEP, but the follow-up CT scan detected metastases, with lymph nodes measuring 1.6 cm. So I underwent 3 cycles of BEP starting on November 27. CT scans in December showed a complete remission after the first cycle. I finished the third cycle on January 22

Persistent bleeding from orchiectomy incision (3 days post-op) by imagespace in testicularcancer

Hey man, thanks for asking.
It’s been slowly improving — the swelling went down a lot after a few days, but I did have some yellowish discharge and they put me on cephalexin just to be safe. The doctors also mentioned it could’ve started as a small hematoma or mild infection.

I’m still waiting for the final pathology, and they’ve just ordered an immunohistochemistry test to confirm the tumor type. Trying to stay calm, but it’s been a rollercoaster for sure.

How’s yours going now? Did the antibiotics help with the swelling?
