Surveillance!

I had my follow up appointment with my Oncologist yesterday.

My diagnoses was a Stage 1a seminoma. The blood vessels were unaffected but the Rete Testes was. He said that might be a slight risk factor for relapse but its debatable.

He reccomended that I just do surveillance as opposed to carboplatin.

I am so grateful for this. I know im not out of the woods yet and still in a danger zone so to speak of recurrence but im very happy as it stands now that just surveillance is the best route.

Thank you to all of you on this sub. Its been a wealth of knowledge and support.

Good to hear. Also good to remember that most patients are cured by orchi alone.
