So I promised a few updates. Here is a technical update. An update I'm not emotionally invested in. Yet.
The surgery went well. A week later, I'm at about 90% back to normal. After the surgery, the doc came out and spoke to my wife and me dad. The scans looked clear. Odds are it hasn't spread. I need to get more blood tests done, and if the numbers are coming down as expected, then all should be well. As I understand it, they need to run some tests on my balls, the one they took out. And then we'll know more.
I have another appointment with the urologist next Wednesday to find out about the numbers and the tests. From reading online, I'll probably be offered a choice. Monitor, i.e. feel myself up frequently and look for changes, or chemotherapy as a JIC measure.
Before making that decision, there are still many questions to ask. Updates on this after the appointment.
Next post will be more personal, on how I feel after the surgery, physically, emotionally, mentally.
