You and your family will be in my thoughts.
Thank you so much, it does make me feel better. I'm so happy to hear of all the people that have made it through and are cancer free many years down the road!

It had spread and he became extremely verbally aggressive with me all of a sudden, somehow it triggered hormones that messed with his brain. It went on for a month before he went to the doctor and was diagnosed. The Chemo is extremely rough, and your boy will be sick 5 out of 7 days a week, usually the day before and morning of Chemo he will be fine. Other than that he will be a sick mess. But Jon is currently completely better, with no signs of it coming back or anything. Just stick by his side, you both will be fine. It will just be rough for the length of the regiment they decide to put him on!
Oh wow, that would have been hard. I'm glad to hear he is alright. So far he's alright, it's been three 8 hour days of chemo so far and he says he's feeling fine, but he's extremely tired and fatigued. He's felt sick to his stomach off and on, but they've been giving him lots of anti nausea medications.

j.w.since he has testicular cancer does that mean he cant use it for relational beinefits?
Oh my goodness you've had a lot of cancer related tragedy in your family. He thankfully only had a tumor in one of his testicles and they removed the one with the tumor. He still "works" just fine And he even got an implant, much like a woman would get for a breast implant, it has turned out very nice! Although, now there's a whole other issue we have to deal with now. Not only do we have to worry about pregnancy because we can't have children for at least two years after chemo, but we also have to use protection so I don't get chemo treatments!!!! I never would have thought about that! Thank heavens the nurse thought about telling us that! Apparently it's easy for him to pass some chemo on to me so we have to be careful with any contact we have while he's getting daily treatments. One of his chemo medications is highly toxic to kidneys.
