LDH isn't really a tumor marker as inflammation anywhere in the body can cause it to be elevated,and at 262 his is not elevated all that much. I would not be panicking at this point, it is too soon post chemo.

BTW, seminoma cannot elevate AFP, but it can elevate the other markers, just...

Archon, Low back pain is probably the most common form of pain of human beings world wide. It is very rarely related to TC, fatigue at your age is a bit unusual, might want to get your testosterone level checked. What exactly stops you from being comfortable when laying down? I have no idea what you...

Micas makes a good point, has his other guy been checked?

In theory, as a prescribed medication in original packaging, it should not be a problem. However, a misinformed ( or just an a$$) agent, could cause problems. They have WAY too much power to refuse your access & you have zero recourse if they do. I have no experience with this I refuse to fly anymore....

Well most of the time, LDH is the least useful, it's not actually a tumor marker, just indicates inflammation, which could be anywhere in your body. AFP & hcg are actual tumor markers & far more useful if elevated.

Well, they should, but since there is no way to know what the charge for a double is, how would you know if they honoured the agreement? I've lost most of my teeth to periodontal disease,they don't charge any less to clean what's left.

Well, In guess we next need to ask: How much hair s lost, how old are you & does baldness run in your family? (especially in the males on your mother's side?)

JeskiM69 hard to know if your problem has anything to do with TC. Sometimes crap just happens that has no relation to your TC. I'd guess this dizziness might be unrelated, but no easy way to know...

It's highly unusual to have active TC post chemo, but it happens, I'd email Doc E & get his thoughts....

[Davepet]

Not everyone can get to Indiana, but everyone can follow Doc E's advice, I suggest you do so...
