Hey all,
Gor my orchidectomy tomorrow. Feel like I’ve been waiting for a lot longer and I’m relieved it’s finally here. A weird feeling knowing I’ll only have one testicle this time tomorrow! RIP shit right ball haha..
Just want the next few weeks over with, get a biopsy and know what this is and know what my next treatment is.. feeling apprehensive
Good luck today, Josh! It's a bit of a shit sandwich for you at the moment, but this is one bit ticked off on your journey to getting better :) And if you're anything like my husband, it will be a pretty easy tick too — he was back to work at his desk the next week, and didn't find recovery all that bad at all. Take it easy and look after yourself :)
Hi mate, thanks for checking in, means a lot.
im doing good, been 4 weeks of recovery so a lot better but just taking it easy still! Had my biopsy and was confirmed as TC. Embryonal Carcinoma. I have an appointment at clatterbridge Thursday to discuss what’s next for me in regards to moving forward
Ah good to hear everything went ok. What was the plan moving forward bud? Have you had your ct scan result etc??
You will be all good mate. Get your home set up nice and comfortable and just relax man. Take your time healing mate
