Hi im about to undergo treatment for testicular cancer to which i have been told is going to be brutal,
to start my story i found a lump back in February this year and thought nothing of it as i was not in any pain at all and had my wedding to plan,to cut a long story short,i got married on may the 13th to my partner of 17 years,i told her about the lump the week before as i wanted our day to be special.We had not planned on getting married this year but due to finding out in september las year that my mother had stage 4 lung cancer we decided to go ahead and plan our wedding while my mother was still around.From the time i went to my GP which was the week after our wedding,my world got turned upside down and has been a roller coaster.From seeing to GP to getting seen by specialist took no more than 2 days and cannot thank Glan clwyd hospital enough.
i had my testicle removed on June the 16th but the night before i found another lump higher up on my groin,i informed the consultant the day of the operation and they removed 4 lymph nodes on the day as well as my testicle,2 of those also had cancer in them.
On the 31st of july i will be attending Bangor hospital in north wales where im under the car of DR Ann mullard,my treatment is going to consist of 3 days of intensive chemo and 3 weeks at home where i will also have to inject myself as well as taking various tablets,my treatment is going to last till the end of november and by that time i hope that i will be clear????
Im not looking forward to the treatment and to say im worried and scared of the unknown is an understatement,
I would like to get to know other peoples stories about how they dealt with it and what to expect
Many thanks
