my initial reaction was not to post this, but i decided to submit a post just to bring a close to my blogs just in case anyone wonders.
in the last two half years here is a list of my treatment and condition
july 2012 18x10 cm abdominal tumour , smaller growths in chest and lung, damaged left kidney
july 2012 - Nov 2012 4 weeks cbop, 9 weeks bep
feb 2013 - left kidney removal ,rplnd surgey
april 2013 - july 2013 tip salvage chemo
august 2013 chest lymph node removal - surgery
oct 2013 - nov 2013 radiotherapy on left psoas muscle
may 2014 - july 2013 high dose chemotherapy
oct 2014 lung surgery to remove tumours from left lung
though all these treatments results seemed to go our way,
but alas the cancer has stayed, my tumour markers are rising, surgery is no longer an option, nor are any trial chemo, as my one remaining kidney is no longer working well enough to be accepted on any trial,
i have germ cell cancer, otherwise known as testicular cancer which is supposed to be highly treatable,
it never occurec in my testicles , but all thats left for me is pallaitive chemo if i wish
i feel fine physically, but im dying
my wife and i will like to have one last holiday as all hope has gone,
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
