The success is very high these days, rest easy

Sounds like his doc is following NCCN guidelines pretty well. With embryonal and LVI there is a 50/50 chance it has spread. That should have been communicated, but still, some guys decide to go with surveillance & are fine, As was said, swoitching docs probably not necessary as the treatment going...

I can't recall ever seeing that it would be unsafe to conceive after BEP of any sort. I'm no doc & certainly no expert.

Nobody really notices, so mamy guys are bald these days. That was my experience....

Odd that it should hurt that long.The few times I've had pain it was only 1-2 days.How many days after the injection was the "high" test taken? I was told the cypionate takes about 3 days to reach it's peak

I did not remove hair until it obviously started falling out,why rush it? It is certainly not "traumatic"by any stretch so when it happens no big deal.,1xBEPshould be fairly easy to tolerate, you won't feel perfect, but it will be over quickly

I think emailing Dr E would be a good idea, At 8 weeks you may already be on surveillance by default, PET//CT scans are not really recommended , although that is what my oncologist ordered throughout the 5 years i was under his care.

I can't recall any case where the proven treatment schedule was cut short outside of a few that missed the last few doses of bleo when getting3xBEP. Try calling Dr Feldmen again & perhaps email Dr E.I would not change the treatment without their advice
