Hi all,

I posted HERE about my diagnosis, but haven't been back for a little while. I was relatively lucky in that I (only?!) had a stage 1 seminoma, and was given the choice of surveillance or 1x single agent carboplatin. When I was making the decision what to do I found various threads...

Good news/bad news: Tumor was 100% seminoma but was 8cm. Pathology report said it was fully encapsulated and didn't make it into the spermatic cord, etc. However, the CT scan showed...

I found it helpful to read the “chemo diaries” of others, so I’ve decided to do one for the next few days or so, mainly to report back on side effects...

Today I went for my single dose of Carboplatin. I chose to have the chemotherapy after being diagnosed with...

Thank you.

I just thought I'd post, since i've been reading the boards for a few days now, and found it very helpful so far. Just after labor day, I went in to my primary care doctor to take a look at my swollen left testicle... He at first suggested it was just a case of hydrocele, but suggested I get an ultrasound...

Carboplatin appears to be an increasingly popular option for guys weighing surveillance versus adjuvant therapies for stage I seminoma. A common concern is the long-term morbidity including side effects, cardiovascular damage, and secondary cancers. Internet searches result in numerous studies and chemo-related...

Hi All!

I'm having my carboplatin treatment tomorrow. I know this is becoming more common, but many doctors still don't know about it. Mine didn't! Anyway, I want to put my recovery information here.

Adjuvant chemotherapy has been gaining traction as an accepted management strategy for stage I seminoma. We have noticed that over the course of the last year we have had a number of members diagnosed with stage I seminoma who have taken the adjuvant chemotherapy route. Many of these gentlemen have...

I had an interesting talk with my doc today. He has been presenting radiation as the only option following my Stage 1 Seminoma. I asked him about his thoughts on single dose carboplatin. His response was that he had never heard of that and that it was definitely not a good idea. Of course I was armed...

In making my decision to go with adjuvant Carbo and preparing for the treatment itself, I found it very useful to review the experiences of other members such as detaildevil, Not Today, btp, and racerxx

I hope that by sharing my experiences with Carbo and anti-nausea meds help others....
