Testicular cancer: a quick reference |
|
This page intends to give you a quick overview about what
a man with testicular cancer may have to face.
The information originates in the experience gained during
my peak time with testicular cancer and further investigation.
You may be interested in my cancer
diary which includes a more personal view on the events.
Whether you are a patient, a relative or a friend,
the word cancer will change your life!
On the other hand there is hope because testicular
cancer is quite well understood and can be (conventionally
and especially holistically) well treated. As one doctor
once said to me: "If I had to have cancer, I would go for
testicular cancer!" (Greetings to you, doc B.!)
One of the key issues during the next weeks and months will IMHO
be your understanding of what is going on. It is not all,
but it helps a lot if you are aware of the medical symptoms, the
treatment, side effects, risks and chances: If you become an involved
and responsible patient!
Basic questions:
- What exactly is testicular
cancer?
- How is testicular cancer diagnosed?
- Can I examine
it by myself?
- What are the different stages
of testicular cancer?
- How can
testicular cancer be treated ("conventional medical
treatment")?
- How should
testicular cancer be treated ("holistic treatment")?
- What are side effects
of the treatment?

for the rest of the life?
