Before the orchiectomy in March, my HCG level was 3.46 mIU/ml. While my HCG level went down to 0.65 in May, and the test in June and August was 0,4 and 0.43 respectively. However, my blood test yesterday showed a rising HCG to 1.06. I know this number may still be in normal range, but am still concerned...Today, 12:06 AM -
After 3 years of no treatment and almost 5 years of AFP being normal my cancer seems to be back as my AFP is elevated to 52.
They don’t see anything on MRI (Brain), CT scan also clear and nothing in ultrasound either.
Going for MRI (groin) in next couple weeks and PET scan...Yesterday, 11:27 AM -
I thought I would share this video I came across explaining Testicular Cancer in a very easy to understand format.
