On Friday September 28th, I went to the Dr. and they diagnosed me with testicular cancer. Unfortunately, the only way to be sure is to perform a procedure known as radical inguinal orchiectomy (I have added a link at the bottom where you can read more) and they scheduled this for Wednesday October 3rd. The procedure went well and I heard back from the Dr. on Friday the 5th and he said that I did have testicular cancer and it was classified as Stage 3, T3. At this point, we are waiting to hear back on a time for a CT scan as that will show the Dr. where and if the cancer has spread. I believe we will then discuss the different types of treatment which could include another surgery, chemo or radiation.
Our goal with this blog is to keep everyone informed. We will update as frequently as there is something new to share.
