Thank you for sharing this. My boyfriend is currently going through a cancer scare, he's having his testicle removed on monday. Reading this has greatly encouraged me that if it turns out to be bad (they haven't said what it is as of yet, they don't seem to know), people do get through it.
People hear the C word, and yeah its scary as hell. More people should share their own stories, to help people going through similar things.
I am glad you are on the road to recovery, and thank you again for sharing your inspirational experience.

I hope all went well with your boyfriends operation today
Thanks for that I'm glad you're better now. Good luck for the future x
Inspiring story , my uncle has had cancer and my mother twice, she's always in and out of hospital so your story is great and gives you hope for when you're feeling down.
Edit- thats my reading for the week done

This happened 6 years ago while i was at uni. I made it back to uni and got my degree. Just want to show anyone else in this position that you can beat this!
Thank you for sharing your story i'm so glad i got the oportunity to read this, i have never read so much (online). This is really inspirational stuff, it shows such character and strength to be able to take on cancer especially at such a young age. good luck to you.

Thanks for sharing, kind of puts things in perspective really!
Thank you for posting this. I was beginning to feel really down because I haven't heard or met anyone else in the same situation as me, and it was all beginning to get a bit too much.
Congratulations on your degree, this has made me realise that I don't have to give up everything I wanted from my life, because my body decided to have a hissy fit...

I had to cut it out as it went over the character limit.
Hi, and thanks for sharing your story. I'd like to make a small correction - you say in the first paragraph that you had testicular and abdominal cancer, yet you had the same thing as Lance Armstrong. If this is true, you never had abdominal cancer, what you had was testicular cancer that had metastasised to your abdomen. Abdominal cancer means that abdominal cells have turned cancerous, whilst testicular cancer metastasised to your abdomen means testicular cells that have turned cancerous that have spread to your abdomen.
This is why testicular cancer that has spread is a much easier cancer to cure than, say, lung cancer that has not spread, as testicular cancer cells are easier to kill than lung cancer cells wherever they are in the body. Metastasised testicular cancer has a 5 year survival rate of 71%, whilst for example, lung cancer, even when it hasn't spread only has a 5 year survival rate of 49% (note I am talking about the point of diagnosis.)
Thanks again for sharing your story OP.
no problem. It is why i wrote it. (well i wrote it for two reasons.) First of all it was just as an outlet for what had happened to me. Had all this stuff going round my head and needed to let it all out. Then when i looked at it i had thought about how it could help others and thankfully it has
well im glad you survived, however now you have made everyone else feel like they may have something wrong with them even if they dont :/

Did you write this specifically for TSR or was there any other reason? I'm sure a cancer charity would love to have something like this.
Did you have noticable lumps on your testicle before/when you found out you had cancer? I just wonder what these lumps feel like?
