The verdict is in and it's not that great......
I had a mixed germ cell tumor consisting of seminoma and embryonal carcinoma.....
Seminoma = good
embryonal carcinoma = bad
If it would have been all seminoma, I could have had 2 weeks of radiation and been done. The side effects would have been minimal (sunburnt balls, fatigue) not too bad....
embryonal carcinoma = RPLND (retroperitoneal lymph node dissection) and/or Chemotherapy
I asked for another option since neither one sounded good to me, but those are the only two available.....
I now need a CT Scan of my chest, abdomen, and pelvis......more waiting.....
