Hi all, I’ve been a member on here for a while and always found it useful to follow everyone’s journey with TC. My story started some 25 years ago when I was diagnosed with TC, at the time it had spread to my lymph nodes in my stomach and some small nodes in my lungs, long story short I had loads of chemo and went on to have a full and healthy life. Then two years ago I started to get a dull ache in my stomach (all my blood tests markers where normal) after a few months I was diagnosed with a transformation of testicular cancer that had reactivated at the scar tissue site on my lymph nodes and had spread to my lungs. In the last two years I’ve had BEP, TIP, Stem cell treatment, high dose Chemo and a RPLND, and a lung resection. Unfortunately none of these things managed to cure me and for the last six months I’ve been on palliative chemo.
I’ve come to terms with that outcome but I’m finding it really difficult in this current situation with Covid-19.
My chemo is being delayed and I fully understand why, so I’m scared about how much time that is taking away from me, but on the flip side I would be really scared to go on chemo right now with all of the associated risks. I’m sorry for posting this on here, but I just want to reach out to people that can understand my feelings.
Stay safe,
Ant
