Waiting to go
I got the diagnosis on Friday the 18th of metastasis of the testicular cancer from last year into the lungs. I had already contacted MedGermany about chemo but will be Faxing my formal application for treatment to them on Sunday.
The treatment will most likely be three cycles of what they call "BEP", standing for the three chemicals: Bleomycin, Etoposide, and Cisplatin. Each cycle is 3 weeks long, with 5 days of intravenous Etoposide and Cisplatin and 16 days off. The Bleomycin is given as an injection once a week. There are other posibilities, for instance some people react badly to the Bleomycin.
That's it for now, will know more in a couple of days.
