Hi
I’ve been diagnosed with testicular cancer in the last week, and am scheduled for removal surgery in the next few weeks; i’m well supported and trying to stay positive, however I shortly have to make the decision about whether I want a prosthetic fitted which is causing me some anxiety.
I am aware that prosthetics can come with some increased risks, and my instinct is to not take any additional risks and not to bother, but the more I think about about it the more unsure I become.
Can anyone offer advice about this decision based on their own experience? If you’ve had a prosthetic fitted, how does it feel? How does it look? Would you recommend it or advice against it? And I guess the same if you didn’t have one fitted?
I appreciate that everyone’s situation is different and what might be right for someone else may not be right for me, but any advice/opinions from people who have actually been through the experience would be really useful in informing my decision.
Thanks for your support
