Testicle Tumor

Back from the hospital now, everything came out allright. Now I just have to wait till the 26th when the analisis of the tumor will be ready, I'm praying fot it to be the least bad of all and I'm sure it will be that way.
I'm determined to fight this whatever it takes.

foxtrot: did you happen to get a CT scan, or are they waiting for the pathology?

Foxtrot,

The fact that you will not get the biopsy results until the 26th is a very good sign they think it is not malignant.

I'll be praying for you.

As far as I know, they can do a ''quick'' biopsy, but the final word is given by the ''slow'' one so we went that way.
They did perform 3 CAT Scans abdomen, chest and pelvis and the chest one showed three small nodules in the lungs, between 7 and 2 mm. The doctor said to wait for the nut biopsy and then wait three months to see if the lung thing have changed.
It seems that usually testicle tumors spread to the linfatic nodules and/or stomach (I've really abstained from resarching too much on the net for now)...anyway, we'll see.
I'm confident about all this crap...I'm in the hands of God, my doctor and my family and friends.

All the best.

the small nodules inthe lungs are non-specific, statistically more likely related to prior infection than metastatic disease, especially if there were no enlarged lymph nodes near your kidneys (which is where testicular malignancies generally affect first).

Anyway, I am hopeful you got this thing beat already, 'cause even if the test turns out to be malignant, there's no real evidence of metastatic disease (though they would follow those tiny nodules just to make sure....
