Tho' much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will; to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

I think next April, it will be the 'standard' 18 months post chemo mark that they require in order to consider the sperm healthy again. At that time, Boyce and I will have to decide if we want to have his tested.
I will be curious to know how your test turns out.Co-survivor with husband Boyce, Diagnosed 7-11-06, orchiectomy right testicle on 7-12-06- Stage 3A: Mixed germ cell tumor with inguinal seminomatous and kartotypic carcinoma. One tumor over 10 cm, second tumor 4 cm, Chemo 4xBEP: Bi-lateral RPLND Dec 2006, nerve sparing but left sterile.

Just make sure your URO looks at the results my ONC might know cancer but doesn't deal with a lot of sperm counts and thus his info wasn't the best. The URO can tell you if there is a good count and condition of the sperm. This is one test that you might not get the best results on paper (so you think) but you have plenty to get the job done!!
If you have any other questions send my a private message.
