Fw: chemo for testicular cancer

October 14, 2003

Hi , my name is Sharon and I have experience with your

son's problem of sorts. I didn't respond because our experience

didn't fit yours to a tee. As long as you are still looking

for responses, here it goes.

My son was diagnosed with testicular cancer when he was 26

also. The difference is we do not know whether he will be a

CMT person like his mother or not. Also, he was operated on,

they removed the tumor, and suggested radiation treatment.

After talking with his doctor he decided not to take the

radiation and just be checked every 6 months. This was in

1996, the cancer has not returned.

I remember that there are two types of this particular cancer.

I realize that my son's experience might be different than your

son's, but if nothing else maybe you should ask some more

questions. It will not hurt to check into things a bit

further.

Regards,

Sharon

Subject: chemo for testicular cancer

Hello all,

I received only one response regarding testicular cancer

chemo treatment for a young man with CMT ......... (from

someone who had had breast cancer).

Is there really NO-ONE with the two problems out there??????

I guess he'll be a guinea pig of sorts ..... trying out the

chemo drugs for science ......... they are unique to that

type of cancer treament and are known to be hard on the

neurological system .......

Please if anyone knows of a personal experience, let me know!

!!!!!
