This is my first comment on the forum. Things look pretty ugly right now. Surgical results showed more cancer than I expected plus I had testicular cancer at 31. I thought I was done with this disease. I am starting radiation treatment this Thursday. They cannot treat my lymph nodes because of prior treatment 31 years ago. I am also a well controlled type 2 diabetic who religiously exercises to keep things under control. I am in great shape and look forward to getting past this third round of treatment. I would appreciate any comments on my statistics.
