I was diagnosed with testicular cancer 4 weeks ago and had surgery to remove my left testical a week later. I am booked in tomorrow for my ct scan and other tests and to get full results from the biopsy so really nervous at the moment and everything has just been a blur and not really had time to process it all properly.
I was just wondering what everyone's experiences where at this appointment and if I need to have a round of chemotherapy what should I expect? Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thank you
