Hello, I'm 19 and I've recently been diagnosed with testicular cancer. The tumor was in my right testicle and was the size of 18x13mm.
MRI of my abdomen and my lower stomach said all of my organs were clear, but I had 2 bit larger Lymph nodes that were around 18mm in size, tho on the paper it says without infiltrations (I dont know what that means exactly).
Im taking a CT scan of my lungs in 2 days.
I had my right testicle removed last friday.
Now my questions:
1.Does size of the tumor tell anything about whether it has spread or not? I've been told that i found it quite early .
2.I'ts been 6 days since my operation and I've wondered if I could have sex or masturbate, someone told me i would have problems but I had erection the day i was operated.

I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been diagnosed with testicular cancer and I hope the CT scan went well.
