Post follow up appointment

So, I had a follow up appointment with the urologist today. He got the results from the blood tests, and the disection of my ball.

Yup, it was cancer. It was confined to the testicle. It had started to get into the lymph system in there, which is how cancer spreads. The scans shows my lymph nodes hadn't enlarged. The tumor markers in my blood were coming down as expected. So odds are, taking out my ball stopped it all.

But... I'm still being referred to an oncologist for follow up cancer care. We don't know much about that right now, but it will probably involve a few rounds of chemo, just to make sure it's all gone.

So, not out of the woods yet, but things are looking good. Next step is more waiting for the next appointment. I hate the waiting.
