Hello all,
Five years ago when my husband was diagnosed with testicular cancer, I combed these messages boards almost daily looking for 'answers' (that I clearly wouldn't find). I always vowed that i would come back and share good news along the way so that others could see some hope along the way. My husband was diagnosed with a seminoma at age 32. We were lucky that it only required surgery. The first year was terrible. We lived in constant fear. At that point we had no children, but couldn't even wrap our minds around getting past this to think about having kids. I have PCOS and I always imagined I would be the reason that I would be difficult to conceive. It got easier every time there as a cat scan that was 'clear and stable' A year later I became pregnant (100%) naturally with our daughter. She was born in January 2013. This past month my husband had his 5 year cat scan, and it was clear and stable. We are now celebrating his 5 year all clear anniversary with our 3 year old daughter. It's a really big deal to us. No matter how much 'sh*t there is in our life, this always gives us perspective. I hope this story helps someone, and thank you for all of the solace that I was provided durring that difficult time.
