Time between surgery and treatment?

Hello

I don't know the medical answer I just remember that when I had one dose of carboplatin it was within 4 weeks of my op as the hospital really pushed for me to have it. They told me that even though I had no spread and the cancer was removed with my testicle you still get some stray cells which enter the body so the carboplatin basically mops them up so they don't make a new home somewhere else. Sorry I cant help anymore. 

Kind Regards

On my first bout with righty, I was operated on in August but didn’t get my radiotherapy until the November. I was in the military at the time and had a long wait for diagnosis due to a specialist being deployed in Kosovo. 

Thank you. Why did you choose radiation over carboplatin?  I am considering radiation since it seems to have better relapse free rates than carboplatin. I am scheduled for 1x carboplatin done next monday, 42 days after my surgery. I have read the forums here and many people seem to go for 2x carbo and I am having a hard time deciding whether I should do one or two, or radiation for that matter. I am a stage 1B t2 seminoma, 3cm, extensive rete involvment, LVI. I dont know what my relapse rates are exactly but I think somewhere between 15-25% and I want to bring them down as much as possible.

Hi, I live in the U.K. and 20 years ago when I had grade 1 seminoma in righty I was asked if I would be part of a medical trial where the effectiveness of radiotherapy vs chemo as a precautionary treatment was carried out. I was chosen to have radiotherapy. I didn’t have a real say on what was to be provided.  The radiotherapy was ok but not without side effects. Tiredness, nausea and a good number of years of poor immunity.
