My Testicular Cancer Story – Update 3

Well went to the appointment on Monday and basically heard everything about my options that I had already found answers for by doing research.  My pathology report was updated and apparently less than 1% of Teratoma was also found.  While it’s less than 1%, teratoma is not one that you want to have because it doesn’t respond to chemo and is only curred through removal.  Good thing I’m doing the RPLND then.  I am a perfect candidate for it because of my staging.  There is a possibility that chemo not cure me and that the cancer will come back.  Chemo will also put me out for 3-4 months depending on the type of treatment, well more like zombify me for that long.  I don’t think I could do school like that.  RPLND will suck for the first few weeks of recovery but after that I’m done (hopefully).
