In feb my partner was diagnosed with mediastinal tumor and thymus. They said some parts were pre cancerous and the large tumor was benign. Size of a rugby ball. He went on to have 6 chemo treatments. He has his PET scan on Saturday and we heard today he has cancer in his testicle and deep in his leg. He has an appointment to see the doctor this week but i cannot setlle. Is this the fight over can it be beaten?
Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read that your partner has recently been diagnosed with testicular cancer which has spread into his leg. I know what a worrying time this will be for you both.
As the community is divided up into various groups I'm going to recommend that you join the testicular cancer group where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support.
To join the group just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your partner's journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. 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.
