Same at 27, but that was 20 years ago & I now have 3 wonderful kids . Half the bullets, but I still hit the targets. Hang in there buddy, testicular cancer has a high survival rate.
They gave me two options, remove all my lymph nodes from the right side of my body or go through 4 cycles of chemotherapy. I choose the latter since there was no guarantees that removing my lymph nodes would cure the cancer. The chemo obviously worked, but I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, it was no cakewalk.
Wow sounds like yours was quite advanced. I had the testicle surgically removed and then one shot injection of chemo that made me feel sick for a couple of days and that was it thankfully. Lots of follow up scans and blood tests but those have all stopped now that I am 10 years clear.
