pT2 is a further classification of the stage. I expect yours would be "stage1, pTs" afraid I don't recall the codes though, hope someone here can jump in with info.

How much experience does your doc have with TC? Radiation isn't used with mixed cell tumors, which are always treated as non-seminoma. Unless there is some indication of spread, surveillance is generally preferred these days. Lung nodules are quite common & without abdominal spread it is unlikely...

Glad to hear you are doing well, thanks for the update.

I'd want clarification, on the tumor type as seminoma mixed cell doesn't sound right, I suspect they meant mixed cell, with a high percentage of seminoma. If that is the case, then radiation is not an option. If there is no spread, surveillance will likely be the preferred option with possibly one round...

Well since you indicated you were already on the low side, it's not going to improve after an I/O. I'm not sure why you are so concerned about TRT. It can take some efflert, but it works well for many of us Honestly, I cannot understand how you've stood up to pain bad enough to consider an I/O for two...

[Davepet]

I've never seen any statistics on that, but I'd guess it's a fairly low percentage. Two years ago you were contemplating an I/O did you get one?

Great to hear the all clear!

If you are still getting hot flashes, something isn't right. You might want to try a different brand of gel or even switch to injections. Some guys find one works better for them than the other.
