I’m 31, but lately, I feel like I’ve lived a lifetime in just a few months. The journey through embryonal carcinoma was more than just a medical battle; it stripped something away that I’m struggling to find again. I’m standing at the edge of life right now, and honestly, I can’t see what’s ahead. I’m not ungrateful to be here—I’m just exhausted, and the emptiness is heavy. I don't have the words to fix it, so I’m just acknowledging that it’s there.
Hi Muhammad and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and although I've had different cancer diagnoses to you I know how difficult having cancer can be.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the testicular cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others who have the same type of cancer as you.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
