I had exactly the same as you 13 years ago mate, it's all a bit of a whirlwind at first but I always remember the first words my oncologist told me the time "if you are going to be in my clinic for something this is absolutely the best thing to be here with"......loads of treatment options, all of them highly effective and prognosis (short and long term) is generally excellent....plus who needs two anyway?

I'm sure you'll be grand...just keep that brilliant attitude and you are well on the way out of this

Yesterday was the worse day so far but we got through it. I actually slept really well without any of the weird dreams I have had.

That is fantastic to hear - it is so well advanced and the service has been first class.

I wasn't sure whether to pst on here but it felt like the right thing to do.

I have suspected testicular cancer following a crazy few days (ultrasound then appointment today). I have had my blood tests today and will be operated on within 1 week.

They will do CT scan. I am surprisingly positive and ready to fight whatever at throws at me.

Best of luck to you and wish you every recovery and fortitude. It may or may not help but the comedian Richard Herring has been going through similar and you might want to follow his Tweets on the subject, he's had his op and is running a half marathon I think.

Take care.

All booked for Monday for my op. Markers on my blood test show cancer.

But we have a plan now:

- Op on Monday then tumour sent for analysis
- CT scan a week tomorrow

What a horrible week but can remain positive to beat this fucking thing as in the best hands possible.

Only just seen this :(

Hope everything goes well :(

Thanks guys.

A week today since the op and feeling better each day. Pain has been manageable and even got out to the sea front by us for some lunch a couple of times.

All tests done so just a waiting game now to know next steps.

I have a slight update - Dawn (secretary) said my histology report came back yesterday afternoon and I will be discussed at the MDT meeting on Wednesday next week.

I will then be called in for appointment Friday / early week after in Worthing to discuss my results and look at how wound is healing

They don’t give any results over the phone and don’t tell me any other stats 🙁

Lost my mum to this and still years on just yearn they would pledge any space money into solving cancer

Freedom starts in your own body,, not on foreign taking light years to get to (it's amazing how people toss Light Years around like it's nothing)

Just. Want
This. Done. It's your own body betraying you in the worst way
 I saw the black ring around my mother's head and I looked into it

You may think I'm being fancy and maybe I am but that is what I saw though I hadn't slept for days.

What I mean to say, so I say what I mean: begrudge all the monies that don't go into combating this. HS2, space, yachts - exhaustive lists are out there

We will truly master science only and not before but only when we can nullify and render nonexistent cancer and I apologise if in this most sacred of threads I post a teasing dream

You just don't forget things like what this does. You don't. It doesn't matter what years pass
You don't and you mustn't and pushing for change in whatever way is a salve but am I serious?

I am serious. I sit here older and wiser but no more happy.

I have some positive news 😀

The tumour was cancerous but it is what is called a Stage one Seminoma. It’s the earliest stage of testicular cancer. The cancer is only in the testicle and hasn't spread to nearby lymph nodes or other organs.

I will still need to see the orcologist in Brighton to determine next steps but the nurse thinks it is monitoring only in these cases. The worse case would be preventative chemo.

I am at my Hospital on Tuesday to assess the wound.
