Testicle Tumor

Thanks a lot guys for your words and support and thanks also to Audiogon for letting me express myself.

I'm trying to stay calm but every now and the ''what if's'' pop up in my mind; I've had great support from my family and friends.
I'm 27 years old and have many dreams that I have to turn into reality, that gives me strenght to fight all this.
Shopping today for a prosthesis was a strange experience.

Thanks again and I'll keep you posted.

Thanks again guys, it really means a lot to me every single one of your comments, they indeed help to give me all the strenght I need right now.
I'm trying to figure now how should I name my new silicone buddy that will replace the bad one...

D Day is tomorrow Friday at 1500 (that's Santiago, Chile time * UTC +4)

Thanks again !!!

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.

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.

Today was the day.
the biopsy showed that the tumor was a mix between a seminoma and embrionary carcinoma, the area, artheries and veins around it where clean from cancerous cells which is good. But I still have three small spots in my lungs for which I have to wait two months before another round of CAT's, if they have grown it's bad, if they are smaller or gone very very good, because there a chance (hope it's big) that it could have been an inflamation due to any other cause.
He will anyway extract some parts of my lynfatic system in the stomach area just for precaution and those parts are useless anyway.

That's it for now, all the best !!!
