Medical question.

[wargriff]

In the absence of a medical forum I am posting here....shoot me if im wrong

Does anyone have any experience of testicular cancer ? I have just been given the news that I have it, and im a little uncertain. Yes I have read loads online, but I would prefer to hear from someone in the know...

Any help appreciated

I'm very sorry to hear that, my dad had cancer (bowl i think) and after an operation a few years ago he seems to be fine - hope you will be too

Jimmy White had it at one time I seem to remember?
Thought it was one of the less serious ones i.e. curable.

Sorry to hear that fella. I know a couple of people who have had it and both have turned to cycling. Have a read of the Lance Armstrong books.

I wish you luck.

Sorry didnt realise we had a forum.

Im told it is curable, subject to how soon caught. But im looking for a sort of diary/info from someone with experience.

As I understand it, the outlook is very good these days.

Doesn't mean you aren't going through a st time right now though.

All the best fella.

There is a website called www.cancerbuddiesnetwork.org who will put you in touch with people who have similar problems.

Have you spoken to a Macmillan Cancer Centre?

Lance Armstrong seems to have managed well enough after it. Hope it's been caught early and the treatment's not too nasty for you.
