  • Oasis in the storm

    There must really be something wrong with me. I have been on this forum for the last week feverishly reading about mens infected testicles.

    But seriously, I would just like to say how much better it makes me feel to be able to talk about my TC to all of you and get support from those who have been through it. At first I would read some of the posts and then cry but after awhile I found a great wealth of knowledge and comfort from this site.

    I am still very early into my fight but feel very confident that no matter what comes, I can beat it. That attitude has come mostly from reading about all of your stories and your attitudes and especially God. I sincerely thank all of you for your support and kindness. What a great site that you never want to come to but are glad you did.

    I will continue to keep you posted. Pathology report on Friday 7/28/06

        Jay,
        When you go to the doc Friday I reccommend that you ask for copies of your labs, scan reports, and the final pathology report. Keep a file with all this stuff in case you want a second opinion, move, or turn into a mindless blob of jello when trying to comprehend news about your health and need to read it later (like me! ) http://tcrc.acor.org/pathology_report.html will explaing the staging and terms of the report. Regardless, you will be OK!
        Retired moderator. Husband, left I/O 16Dec2005, stage I seminoma with elevated b-HCG, no LVI, RTx15 (25Gy). All clear ever since.
