Hi All,

New here and just wondering how long it takes roughly to get results after the surgery? I had the op on 19/10 and haven’t heard anything yet… The surgeon on the day of the op told me that the tumour markers and CT appeared to be clear, but not had much info other than that, and I am keen to know what chemo/surveillance I’ll need etc.

I did speak to a support worker today who said I should get a letter soon about my follow up appointment as I was discussed by the team who have been assessing my case last week, but when I called the hospital (different one to where I had op) they said they had no referrals or details for me so I’m a bit confused!

For info my ultrasound was on 23/09, CT 07/10 then op on 19/10.

Ultrasound details: 

2 x 1 cm heterogenous, predominantly hypoechoic region within the interpole of the right testes with increased vascularity is demonstrated. Right epididymis is normal.

Thanks! :)
