  • Stuffy Nose a sign?

    Is a stuffy nose and the often urge to clear your throat a sign of later stage testicular cancer or do I just have allergies?

    I remember you never got an ultrasound. If you have a stuffy nose and think TC is potentially to blame I think u need to get some of the peace of mind that an ultrasound can give.
    4/26/07 - mass confirmed w/ no elevated markers
    4/27/07 - left I/O
    5/2/07 - Dx: 100% seminoma stage 1A
    Surveillance: CT/blood (6 month cycle)
    4/27/13 - 6 years cancer free!

      Since my last visit on here, my calcium deposit has not changed size at all, and the temporary pain I had, which I later realized was drawn on due to my constant messing with the testicle, has left. I have had no reason to assume the doctor was incorrect in his diagnosis. However, in the last few weeks, I have had a stuffy nose and was wondering if this is ever been a symptom in later stage testicular cancer? I have had allergies in the past and being in a new environment like I am, I'm willing to bet that is the cause. Out of all the stories I ever read back in June when this all first started, I never once heard about a stuffy nose being a symtom but I thought I'd check just to make sure. I have an appointment in two months with the urologist again and if things change before then, lump increases in size or pain returns or if a severe cough developes, I will. I'm not jumping to conclusions and freak out like I did before.
