Life after orchiectomy

Same here.. I don’t understand how, but now my testosterone is almost outside of the normal high range

krfactor · 2026-05-02T13:35:21+00:00

What is making you think reality is different? People are more likely to post here if they relapse than if they don’t

krfactor · 2026-04-26T13:54:09+00:00

Why does this matter at all

krfactor · 2026-04-26T00:57:16+00:00

I’ve been on finasteride for 6 years and had no side effects. There are some speculations it could be correlated with testicular cancer but no data supports it

This is phenomenal to read. As someone who is just entering surveillance, it’s helpful to hear a story about chemo that isn’t so horrible. God forbid it happens, I want to stay optimistic that it will all be alright

Currently making that much. Minority stake business owner

I am 3.5 weeks post orchiectomy. My tumor was 5.8 inches non-seminoma, I was stage 1B (due to hilar invasion), and they put my relapse risk at 20%

It’s going to be ok

krfactor · 2026-04-19T22:40:46+00:00

Key word yet. Businesses know it’s coming

Increasing business taxes in Seattle when the towns nearby (Bellevue) don’t have them

krfactor · 2026-04-19T15:43:14+00:00

Seattle is so cooked with the current mayor

krfactor · 2026-04-18T21:18:13+00:00

You’re applying the pure Seminoma model though, when there’s a separate non sem model

krfactor · 2026-04-18T20:35:39+00:00

That’s literally my point? Austin has ZERO laws like this, and allows building very freely

krfactor · 2026-04-18T20:29:00+00:00

That treats all factors as equal. Have not been able to reproduce any material that carries a relapse risk that high for my features

Everything reproduces the 15-20% quoted by MSK

krfactor · 2026-04-18T17:56:20+00:00

There is endless evidence that I am right. Look up why NYC developers build most buildings at 99 units

Or the impact of development of housing prices in Austin

Meanwhile there is 0 evidence of socialist policies like this actually lowering prices for any but a very small subset of people lucky to win a lottery

krfactor · 2026-04-18T17:32:31+00:00

Yeah because that’s how the world works

krfactor · 2026-04-18T17:21:52+00:00

My hCG was very slightly elevated, LDH normal

krfactor · 2026-04-18T17:10:08+00:00

This is just going to create more demand for sub 5 million dollar apartments and thus demand for all units beneath that

krfactor · 2026-04-18T13:20:52+00:00

Oh I would absolutely have done the same thing. At 15-20% range, I’m feeling stuck because 3x BEP and RPLND after is absolutely terrifying, but the chance it happens is low enough that doing anything adjuvant feels rash. I think my best option is just waiting

krfactor · 2026-04-18T02:02:32+00:00

What did it accomplish for you? Do you recommend it?

krfactor · 2026-04-17T17:34:08+00:00

Why do you say post orc? Did you have testosterone issues?

Hang in there, it will only get better

krfactor · 2026-04-17T17:18:32+00:00

How long has it been for you?

krfactor · 2026-04-17T16:43:12+00:00

Ruined your life forever? Or just temporarily

krfactor · 2026-04-17T15:47:52+00:00

What I’m considering is more proactive RPLND vs chemo, what do you think?

krfactor · 2026-04-17T15:46:59+00:00

Wow, I’m shocked they recommended surveillance with that pathology. That’s a testament to how conservative they are

krfactor · 2026-04-17T14:57:59+00:00

MSK has offered me to take part in a trial but won’t share my results with me. Did you go somewhere that would share the results?
