Here is an update.....

As most of you already know, about 5 weeks ago I had my left testicle removed which had a tumour on it. It hadn't visibly spread at that time, but it was hard to tell.

I was then placed onto a surveillance schedule where I had to have monthly blood tests and chest x-rays with a CT-Scan every 3 months. Earlier in the week I had my first blood test and chest x-ray. We found out yesterday afternoon that 2 small growths have appeared on my xray in my left lung. The blood test had also came back with elevated cancer 'markers'.

I will be going in for a CT-Scan tomorrow morning to verify the growth. The specialist has already booked us in for Chemotherapy, to get us into the 'system' incase we require it. This doesn't mean we have a set time yet, but it does get the ball rolling to make it smoother and faster.

I am also going to have Hearing tests and a Lung Capacity test. This is to have a benchmark before any treatment as loss in those areas are some of the possible side effects.

I am in the process of scanning the xray to show you where it is at the moment.

I would like to thank everybody who has emailed us so far. I will let you know how it goes.
