    Bill gave me some of his "Indomnitable Spirit" to help shield me from this fight. You've all given me Hope in Human Kindness again. With Friends (Family) like all of you, I know this "Mother F*$k*r" is goin down once and for all! I'm ready to fight!

      Hang in there!!!!

      All I can say, is do your homework and major research. Hit the websites and find info out on treatments for treating cancer in those areas, not just related to testicular cancer. Also, ask about other treatments besides chemo (ie cyberknife, avastin, etc).

      Sending you good vibes.

        Together we will beat this. All I can really offer is karma but I will give you all I have. Of course, along with a home to stay in. Beer and Pizza now that's my type of party.

            first of all I´m very sorry for you Mark I hope everything will be fine for you,
            I must admit after reading your thread I got a bit worried myself and didn´t sleep all that well that night, thougt that it didn´t happend for to many with seminoma stage 1. My tumor was 4 cm too like yours so I don`t feel to save anymore.
            Best wishes

                      Nancy and I can always use a reason for a party and this is a beauty. In feb. we plan on having a beach party with everone showing up in bathing suits. I even convinced Nancy to allow me to have a topless section (hey you never know ). A "we kicked cancers ***" party in the spring would be great. It's a wounderful time for new beginnings, and beer.

                        That's the perfect attitude for this! This will certainly be an inspiration to many.

                        Beach party in the spring with pizza and beer... sounds like the good old days of grad school in San Diego when we had keggers after Ph.D. candidacy oral exams... then again, it's always a good time for a brew...

                            Can't wait for the party. I'll be the tattooed bald guy .
                            I'll be starting this showdown this Sunday morinig. It's a 24 hr infusion for the first drug. I'll then be discharged to the Cancer Center in Flemington NJ for the first cycle as an outpatient on ITP, I believe the first 2 cycles will be like this. After that, I'm off to Sloan-Kettering for the High Dose.. Then I believe it's scan and check for up to 6 cycles total until "beelzebub" is gone. It's going down gang. I've got a party to get to.
                            Love to you All,
