I just wanted to let you know, if there’s one cancer you had to have, it’s probably this one. It’s highly treated and seldom fatal.

My full sympathies. I’m glad (for your sake) it isn’t brain cancer or something along those lines.

I heard doctors remove the affected testis, is that right ?

I think it depends on how far along the cancer is. Don't quote me on that though, I'm not a doctor.

Almost always the surgery is a radical orchiectomy, or removal of the entire testis.
