[adammsvk]

Greetings,

finished my 3xBEP last month and just received the results from the last blood test and CT - all clear for now. The observation begins.
However as most of you (as this is English speaking forum) are probably from UK/US/Australia, I would like to share my experience of how...

Hi All. I've been following this forum for a little while, so many helpful tips and inspiring journey of you all.

I will be starting 3x BEP next Thursday, and I would like to do what I reasonably can to reduce any long term damage that can occur from BEP. There are loads of studies on melatonin, vitamin E/C and whatnot protecting against ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity and so on, but I'm having trouble figuring out...

I was diagnosed w/ testicular cancer on 9/29/2017. On 10/5 I had my right radical orchiectomy. Since then, my serum marker levels have returned to normal. There was one 1.1cm lymphnode visable near my Vena Cava on the cat scans. Thus, T2N1M0S0 (Stage 2A) Non-Seminoma (55% Seminoma, 20% Embrynol, 15%...

Been lurking on here since November now and just wanted to finally contribute. I'm starting chemo in about a week and am not looking forward to it but really want to be able to put this past me and move one. Testicular cancer really caught me off guard. I'm a pretty healthy...

SIL saw the oncologist today. Stage llB, one enlarged lymph node, recommending 3X BEP. BUT- I notice all the folks here say 5 days on, 2 weeks off. Sounds like he is saying 5 days, then 3 weeks off. My SIL had the impression it would be 1 round per month. Is that OK? Does it affect his chances of killing...

Hi there! I am 36 year old living in Chicago. This is my first post but I've been reading the boards since I found a lump in the end of April. Reading through the various posts helps me a lot outlining the steps as I am very eager to put this behind me. Here is my story:

I have been rinsing with baking soda and salt several times a day since my first week, but a couple of days ago I noticed the back of my mouth was red and a little difficulty swallowing. After I got home from my bleomycin booster today, it got a lot worse in a matter of a few hours. Painful to swallow....
