Hi from Israel

[vivace]

Hi I am vivace .35 years age person from Israel. Iwas diagnosed a classical seminoma on May 8.2007 / On May 8 I was operated . June 18 through July 13
I was X-rayed. The doctors in @Rambam medical center told that I have
97-98 percentage probability not to return to any kind treatment any more
Can i rely on them ?

Welcome to the forum. Tell us a little about you case we can help a bit more. In general if you had a fairly early stage of seminoma and were treated with radiation your chances of being cured are indeed well over 90% but you will need to stick to your surveillance schedule.

Thanks a lot . I did not know so much .When the doctor finds a problem
he puts me to the surgery immedeately . He did this so immedeately that I cannot even tell
anything.They cut everything and send the material to the citology room .
They did this back and forth until they find that the material contain only the normal cells An hour after the ivestigation I was after the operation in my city of Zefat.
A week after that , I was given three week vocation to prepare to the
X ray operation . After that I recieved 2500 Units of radiation in Rabam hospital of Haifa . My surgeon in the local medical service check me every two weeks

Vivace,
That sounds about right. If you had 100% seminoma, a usual course of action is adjuvant radiation. With radiation and no further spread, your chances of having been cured are around 98%. You just need to make sure that you keep up with your check-ups. Have they done CT scans, chest X-rays and other blood work for tumor markers?

My oncologist sees me on August 8. Next Sunday I do Alphabeta Protein
blood count . This week I have to go to the Ulrasound ,X ray film , and
biochemical count and other count I need . My oncologist instructed my surgeon so this week he sees me. I will not skip any check since I feel my life is at the stake . I hope people in this forum could help me to win too

Sure . Yesterday i did CT scans, chest X-rays and other blood work for tumor markers. I pray G-d that everything will be OK.

Let us know your X-ray and blood test results when you get them. An early-caught seminoma with radiation therapy gives you a very good chance that all the cancer is gone! You have my prayers.
