Hi everyone -

Brand new here, except for the lurking I did during treatment.

Currently in remission ~8 months after BEP chemo for stage II seminoma.

When I was going through it, reading other folks' experience was enormously helpful for me. So I always knew when I finished I would want to recount my own story in hopes that it might help someone else. Recently put "pen" to "paper" and recounted the end-to-end experience. I hope this is helpful.

  • Hi Matt

    Thanks for sharing your journey it was both very well written and inspiring. I too found great comfort in reading about other guys experiences during my diagnosis / treatment. 

    Your description of the nausea feeling was bang on how I was trying to describe my experience to a family member (only one shot of carboplatin mind). It’s not like when you get a cold / flu and sleep all day or watch films. I had to lie down and shut my eyes to stop feeling sick but could barely sleep let alone concentrate for longer than 5 mins on a film. It reminded me of motion sickness a little….

    Anyway best of luck for the future and i hope you never need to add anymore chapters to your TC journey.
