My sister found these good pages:
http://www.tc-cancer.com/about/pure-seminoma-stg3.html
“Patients with Stage III seminoma have spread of cancer outside the testes and retroperitoneal lymph nodes and are curable in more than 90% of cases.”
http://www.tc-cancer.com/about/pure-seminoma-recur.html
Patients with Cancer Recurrence after Surgery or Radiation Therapy – “Over 90% of patients who relapse after surgery or radiation therapy can be cured with chemotherapy.”
That’s great news!
My radiation oncologist (Gustafson, who’s awesome) said that I’ll be fine as well, that I won’t like chemo, but that I’ll be fine.
I wonder what I’m gonna look like bald.
it’s not as bad as you’d think. Just a little chilly.
This IS great news! They’re just going to have to bring in the big guns this time! (Chemo) Keep us posted Jeff you’ve got an audience and a ton of support. If there is a higher power he gave you this because he knew you are one who can handle it and that you have the ability to inspire others.
Love you bro!
Thats Awesome news man… All you have to do now is become a SHARP
just kidding, I will make a vow never to bring up the SHARP stuff again…You just keep a cool head , no pun intended, and strong beliefs in yourself and you will pull through this crap with no problem.
Hey, that 90+% chemo cure rate it really good news, Jeff.
My thanks to your Sister for sending that info to you… and you to us.
You didn’t ask for this challenge, but you are already an inspiration to the rest of us, in how you are positively handling it.
We are all out here ready to support you and Angela in any way possible.
Go for “the cure”, you’re only bald for a short while.
Thanks for the blog site. It a great idea of how to get your ideas and feelings out to us, and the same for ours’ … back to you.
I hope you have a peaceful rest tonight.
Hey Ben….don’t stop talking about SHARPS…it makes us laugh. Jeff will be my little SHARP!!!
