I hope he doesn't have to go through all that, but at least it is one of the more treatable forms of cancer. By the way, luckily testicles are like kidneys - we have two of them but only need one!


Yeah i had it when I was 26 (7 years ago), left orchiectomy and lymph node removal in the groin area, then 2 rounds of Chemo 1000mg of Carboplatin.

The Chemo was precautionary and to reduce the risk of return down to 3% did you get offered it after your surgery?

As it was optional whether I took it but i didn't want to risk a recurrence by not doing it.

Footy easily takes a backwards step when it involves your health or family. Wishing him the best of luck.

It's generally a young man's disease (in your 20s), so it was apparently very unusual for me to get it at age 47. Back then all I was told was that the surgery should do the trick, but there was about a 1 in 4 chance that it would reappear somewhere else and then I'd have to have chemo. Almost exactly 12 months after my operation, it re-emerged and so I commenced the chemo. All good now.

ITs pretty cureable, one of the more cureable cancers, I wish him well.

I wish him well but let's have a dose of reality here. He gets the BEST treatment money can buy and the media are in overdrive. I have had friends go through the same issues. They were not admitted, operated on and discharged within days of discovery. Let's all wish him a speedy recovery without all the bullshit.

I feel your pain Rude and Loki; I went through this 3 years ago, and while it is a young mans disease (see Hogan and Sam Rowe), it doesn't discriminate - I'm in my 40s. Hopefully it's been picked up early enough to require only surgery because chemo is a b1tch (as those that have endured it will attest).

Good to see us all with a clean bill of health now and in the future.
