So I had cancer and had one testical removed. Which showed a large growth of cancer so they sent me for a CT scan.
just got the results and it has spread to my lymphoid in my abdomen so they have said I need to 4 cycles of chemo and will have to stay in hospital for the first cycle for 5 days.
would be great to get some hints on what it’s going to feel like and any recommendations on what I should take with me and how I will feel afterwards
It’s all come a a bit of a shock to be honest asi only noticed a swelling back in June and the first DR was saying is o my 5% likely I would have cancer. And recommended removing my testical. But the follow up Dr was the big shock when they told me I had cancer in what they had removed. But he was very helpfuld professional the nurse was the saviour as she helped me calm down after getting the news. Now I have Been transfers to a cancer center where the Dr explained all and once again the cancer nurse was great .
just no feeling anxious on the next steps as I know will have chemo
any advise is much appreciated
