If it's stage IIB, then the appropriate treatment is very likely going to be chemotherapy, a well-proven cure for testicular cancer.

Thank you all for all of the responses. I found out that my nephews mom didn't get the path report but she will get a copy on wednesday when they go the the oncol doc. She did tell me tonight that it was his AFP that was 88. I went to visit him tonight and he is doing well and trying to walk. I felt so bad for him. The way he walked tonight I can't imagine what it was like right after surgery. That all I know for now. Going to do some more research.Comment

Thanks....
