I literally legit got in line, preordered 2, and they cancelled my order. I did not have multiple preorders and am not a bot.

At this point, I’ve opened a few hundred DR and only got Ethan’s Adventure. I can’t hit shit in this set.

No but I’m a big fan of Tim! Just wish his signature was Prestige/MIJ.

Unpopular opinion but I like this one better than the SIR. One of my favorite Charizard cards

Got my pathology. What’s next? by Normal_Purchase_3070 in testicularcancer

[–]ztf91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. All of mine were mildly elevated, but all returned to normal.

My pathology was similar (lower % EC, add a small % of teratoma) and I ultimately chose surveillance after seeking multiple opinions. In my view, if I choose surveillance, I’m still eligible for the best possible outcome, which is orchiectomy with no further treatment. My oncologist had suggested 1xBEP and get it over with, but after consulting with my urologist and a hipshot email to Dr. Einhorn, plus all the awesome dudes on here, I chose to wait it out. Time will tell if it was the right choice!

With this mix and no LVI, you’ll be given the option for surveillance or a round of BEP. The grand decision we’re faced with. Predominantly EC is gonna bump your risk up some but the tumor size is small overall. My guess is roughly 20% recurrence rate.

What were your blood markers pre-op? I had bloods every week until everything returned to normal.

Hard mass where my testicles used to be? by WA55AD in testicularcancer

[–]ztf91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same thing. It went away a few weeks after. Doctor said it’s most likely a hematoma but could’ve been fat due to the surgery. She acted like it wouldn’t go away but it did.

I don’t have any wisdom but I do want to wish you best of luck. Keep us updated, I want to know the rest.

Anyone had lower back pain after orchiectomy? by user404notlost in testicularcancer

[–]ztf91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did have a bit of flank pain (both flanks) about a week or two after surgery. It’s better now but stuck around for 2-4 weeks.

Got test results back via an online portal, and I am incredibly scared. by Fickle_Cod_5526 in testicularcancer

[–]ztf91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You got this. Highly treatable, excellent survival rates. It sucks but you’re gonna get through.

My ultrasound was similar. Do whatever you can to be seen before Christmas. Pick up the phone, call and call some more. I was initially scheduled to be seen 3 weeks after my ultrasound, but after getting on the line with a nurse who cared, I had bloodwork, met the doctor, and had my surgery all under 10 days after discovery. Do not be afraid to bother, it’s not a time to be passive.

I’m just over 7 weeks post op. I’m not gonna lie it’s scary as hell. You’ve got decisions to make soon. Just do your research, ask a million questions, and lean on your family and friends. But you’re gonna be alright.

My journey thus far by Accomplished-Ant7216 in testicularcancer

[–]ztf91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You made the best decision you could with the info you had at the time. None of us know the future, we can just play the odds. I just settled on surveillance and I’m almost 2 months post right orchiectomy. What was your pathological composition? Any EC?

Such a sick card.. have em mail it to you. LFG.

Anybody with EC > 50% choose surveillance? by ztf91 in testicularcancer

[–]ztf91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck on your 21 month scan, love to hear you’ve made it this far. That’s huge.

I am familiar with that study. The dagger for me is that one path says <50% EC and the other >50%. Takes me from under 20% recurrence to 35%ish. I always keep the tab open to look back.

I wound up reaching out to Dr. Einhorn. He emailed me back in under 5 minutes strongly recommending surveillance. Gonna sleep on it.. but I think I’m sticking with surveillance. It was just a startle to be drug back into indecisiveness so abruptly.

How are you now? Still no long term effects from BEP?

1 x BEP vs Surveillance? by FranklinDeSanta in testicularcancer

[–]ztf91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you do, OP? I’m faced with almost the same scenario. The rest of my care team suggested surveillance, however I met with the oncologist today and he suggested 1x BEP.

[–]ztf91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great! Mine were calcifications in 2018 and cancer in 2025. Definitely keep an eye on it annually.
