Damn that's good you caught it early! European radiological guidelines call for annual testicle ultrasound for testicular cancer survivors if certain risk factors are present, besides prior diagnosis: calcification, and testicular volume <12cc.

I had quite some contact with a researcher...

I see nothing here that would worry me the slightest.

LDH often is not very useful as a tumor marker during follow up, even for Seminoma (and you mention non-Seminoma diagnosis, which means it's even less useful). Lots of false positives. Strenous exercise can raise LDH, for example....

I am very sorry to hear of this very late relapse. Since it's such a late and rare relapse, I hope you are able to arrange treatment at a center of experitse for his salvage therapy. I read a lot about Indiana for folks in the US.

As per Dave, no reason to stop the test beyond 5 years. But that comes down to personal preference as well. I know how hard these tests are for your mental wellbeing. At least in my case.

Seems that's a different assay than the study that I cited. So, don't compare the levels.
