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.

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.

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,
MarkI Love My Pack!
