That Darn "C"(cancer) word and My Turn

[hikingthehills]

I'll be praying for you! A guy I worked with had the same thing. They went in ad took out the one that had cancer and replaced it with a plastic nut. This was 8 years ago and he is going strong and cancer free with plastic nuts but he is other wise healthy and good to go.

My brother in law calls me Uno...

I had testicular cancer

After surgery, mine spread.

A little chemo and I am good as new.

21 when I had surgery, 32 years old and no problems.

You will be alright friend!

Prayers Upbound my friend,
You can beat this, last June, 2014, I was diagnosed with a tumor in my left, and dominant eye. (lost my wife of 35 years to Lung Cancer in 2013.
They (at Emory in Atl., sewed a button sized thingy full of radioactive seeds to the back of my eyeball adjacent to the tumor, and left it there for a week, 168 hours, removed it, reattached the muscle and now the tumor, a melanoma of all kinds, has shrank 50% and no vision loss what so ever, in the eye, could have went blind, lost eye completely, or most get Macular degeneration. I thank God have none of the after effects. Had to wear an 3# lead eye patch for a week to not expose the Wife or cats, but it was worth all the surgeries and pain, that thing felt like a telephone pole in my eye for a week. Wear sunglasses, this is becoming a norm, I found 4 more folks in the area that had the same Melanoma in their eyes and Emory fixed them too.
God Bless

It's just that Word "Cancer" that Strikes the Fear into ya. I've seen many friends and Family die from it, and have a few friends that have had it and survived it with the right treatments.

Bummer, prayers and stuff. As bad as it is, testicular is "better" (more survivable) than prostate cancer. The other "male privilege".

Hope you and the boys heal up quick!

Sorry to hear that, but it sounds like it should be very treatable. Praying for you and keep us in the loop!
