Welcome

I intended to share my experiences with testicular cancer when I was first diagnosed (November 2, 2009) and going through chemotherapy, but felt too awful (physically and emotionally) and basically never got around to actually putting finger to keyboard. When my CT Scan on 2/2/2010 indicated no evidence of disease ("NED", or what is commonly called remission), I figured this would be just another abandoned blog on the Internet, as I had put cancer behind me, or so I naively thought.

Then on Friday a follow up cat scan revealed that a tumor had returned. Whether the tumor is cancer is not is still not entirely clear (it could possibly be a pre-cancerous and nasty growth called teratoma), although my oncologist is pretty convinced that it is in fact cancer.

So, I guess it's time to start documenting my journey, primarily for me, but also for any family or friends that are interested, and, hopefully, to provide insights for others that will face this same battle in the future. So welcome to my Testicular Cancer journey--one that I damn well hope has a happy ending...
