    Path results are in

    Went to see the Dr. yesterday and path results say it is 100% Seminoma - Classical Stage I - confined to the testis - spermadic cord is free of tumor - pT2. As I had posted before, markers had already come back at zero and CT Scan was all clear. So, with all those results in front of us, we discussed all options but Dr highly recommended Surveillance - which we have chosen. So, all in all things are looking up and we are pleased and thankful for what we have. I say "we" because my wife told me from the onset that this was a road we would travel together.....

    Again I thank all my newly found friends from this forum for all your past comments and await all future ones with gratitude. This is a long journey and I'd like to be around here for the long haul.....

          Charlie, this is excellent news! Congratulations on picking a treatment choice, as well. Since you are pT2, you should be extra-vigilant with your surveillance. Thanks for the update, and I wish you the best in your surgical recovery,
