Treatment Progress CT results - waiting on next steps

Got my CT results via the hospital app, but waiting on oncologist appointment next week.

My main tumour shrunk from 5.9cm to 1.2cm and a secondary one on my adrenal gland shrunk from 1.5cm to 1.1cm. All bloodwork for tumour markers looked good as well.

Since it’s over 1cm still I guess will wait and see if RPLND is required or surveillance. I was 100% seminoma.

It will be whatever it is. Anyone else with similar experience can share what they were told/route they took?

I think in your case since you are seminoma you are fine. I believe the cutoff is 3cm for 100% seminoma. Non seminoma cutoff is 1cm

I’m in a similar spot. I have a single lymph node at 1.1cm x 0.9cm. We’ll see what the surgeon says on Wednesday if an RPLND is needed.
