Type of Cancer

I received a phone call today from my Urologist that preformed the surgery last week. He told me that my cancer is a mixed germ cell cancer and the cancer that I have is two different types. The first type is called seminoma and the second is called embryonal cell carcinoma. I will meet with an oncologist next week to determine what treatment is required to get rid of the cancer. The results of the CAT scan that I had showed evidence of some lymph nodes around my left terri aortic artery near my kidneys, they are not certain that these lymph nodes have been affected by the cancer. As of now, I am feeling fine and no major side effects from the surgery, I have been up and around and not feeling too much pain...good drugs!!! Thanks again for all your support.

Health Situation

As some of you know over the past few weeks I have been visiting different doctors and it has been determined that I have Testicular Cancer. On June 24th, I underwent minor surgery and had my left testicle removed in order to do a biospy on it to determine the extent of the cancer. As of today, June 25th, the cancer type is Seminoma, a type of testicular cancer that is very receptive to raditation and has about a 95% cure rate. I decided to create this blog to keep everyone informed of my current condition and allow you to ask me any questions and a way pass along your support for myself and my family. Once I have more information I will post it here for everyone to read. Again, I thank everyone in advance for your support and prayers, without them, this period would be very difficult for me.
