Hi everyone, I’m new here just would like to say hi
Hi, I am a 50 year old man who had left testicle removed 2 months ago. Everything went well and I’ve felt positive throughout. I had meeting with specialist last week who recommended I had one 1 hour session of carboplatin to ensure no stray cancer cells...
Hi, first time posting. I had a testicle removed in February due to finding an abnormalitie on an ultrasound, Dr couldn't say if it was cancerous or not so I made the decision to take it away. Biopsy came back 4 weeks later as cancer. Not required any...
