Hi, 

Appreciate just because someone gets diagnosed with TC it does not give you future immunity to other cancers, I read an article recently that stated that people who have had TC are twice as likely to get a second cancer diagnoses unrelated to the original TC. Is this common in the group members.

Thanks 

  • Hi 

    I don't know if men who have had testicular cancer are twice as likely to get another type of cancer or not but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussion list where it'll be more easily seen.

    If you don't get any replies you could post your question in the ask a nurse section of the online community and one of the specialist nurses will aim to reply within 3 working days.

    While you're waiting for replies it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community

    Having cancer certainly does mess with our lives in lots of ways. I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you start a new post in the group so that others who have experienced the same will step forward to tell you about what they've found helps them.
