    All Negative Scans

    This is my first post, but I've been on here since I went in for my left I/O March 31, 2011. April 7th, the test came back and it was completely seminoma, about one cm. Tumor markers all normal, no spread to the spermatic cord. CT Scan was April 15, and today the doctor emailed that all the scans came back negative! I am now going on observation, officially.

    Thank you to all the brave people here, who have been a great source of knowledge and inspiration.

    Hi cargoguy.

    Great news that your scans are clear! It's also good to hear that your cell type was the less aggressive form (seminoma) and that the tumour was relatively small.

    Welcome to the forum.
