Testicular cancer survivor's advice for patients
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- A cancer diagnosis is a difficult thing for many. In the case of James Coulson Jr., a testicular cancer diagnosis at age 23 was unthinkable. But after coping with the realization of cancer treatment, James focused on surviving. Part of what got him through his treatment was "long-suffering," basically patience in the face of adversity, something every cancer patient can relate to. Listen to James as he shares his advice to other patients.

How did it go??
I got testicular cancer at the age of 12 and I got surgery 7 days before my birthday and it was one of the best surgery’s that have ever been done on testicular cancer they said. It healed perfectly and got out so good. Now I can still have kids and nothings different
That's so great to hear. We're glad you're doing well.
@@mdanderson thank you 😊
Im sorry to bug. Im very scared so I have a very tiny lump on my right testicle its almost pointy its not the size of a marble or anything i mean its very very small and idk if i should be afraid
@@toxicwaste380 is it like round and it kinda feels hard and shaped like a pea but smaller?? Cause I think I have that to and I’m nervous
Thank u so much.. I'm very glad to read your comment.. Because my son got testicular cancer .at that time he was 2 year old.. His right side testicle removed by an operation. Now he is 8 years old.. I'm worried about his future, marriage life etc..but after reading your comment I'm so happy...thank u again God bless u brother
I remember when I was first diagnosed. I had already had a feeling it was cancer. I was determined to get things done I wasted no time on getting the testicle removed as the doctor recommended so we wouldn't waste anytime. 2 weeks later I got the results and it was stage 1 non seminoma . It didn't really hurt as much as I thought I guess because I was expecting it. I'm going on 4 years cancer free I have an appointment next week for my CT results. Guys if you feel like somethings not right go get it checked out because it can save your life . Testicular cancer is very curable especially if caught early. God bless everyone and if anyone has any questions about my experience feel free to ask
We're sending positive vibes your way.
Thanks for sharing your story! I've been diagnosed with TC, and today I got my left testicle removed. Non-seminoma cancer (high levels of that alpha protein). I'm waiting for the next week to see the pathologist. Glad to know you only had stage 1 and got recovered. Greetings from Mexico.
@@sergiocarrasco9762 hope you live again God bless you my friend
I have a tiny very tiny pointy lump on my right testicle and idk what it is im getting checked soon but i hope its not cancer.
@@sergiocarrasco9762 prayers your way bro 🙏 I know the feeling when you first first get diagnosed it's scary but you gotta stay positive and do everything you need too. God bless & stay strong
Getting checked soon. I’m starting to feel nervous but I know I’ll be okay in spite of whatever outcome
Ed Perez update??
Absurd Fellows he ded
I’m gonna get my ultrasound tomorrow. Can’t believe I might have cancer at the age of 20 lol

@@kenangedik3678 what happened because I’m 16 and I’m have a bump under my right ball and I’m nervous to go tell my parents because I don’t even wanna think about me having cancer but I might have it😔
Got diagnosed last year and I am now cancer free for the past 6 months. If anyone needs this now, you can do it man. Beat this disease
We're so glad to hear you're doing well. Best wishes to you.
Oh bless him I hope he doing well and active now.
I'm also cancer free at this time after being diagnosed with this. I had my left testicle removed and so far, I've been clean. I'm still being monitored till 2024) and have been since 2019. It's a story that I don't see many talk about. I'm going to make a video of mine very soon. And I'm glad to share I have two beautiful daughters after my surgery. My advice for anyone (any age) is if you see/feel something weird down there (painless too), go get it checked out now. The sooner you know, the better the treatment outcome. Stay ahead of it!
one of my friends has testicular cancer stage 2 and did 4 rounds of chemo and now it's more than a year and he is okay. Keep regular testing. You have to be strong! You can fight cancer!
We're glad to hear your friend is doing well, Stephanie. Best wishes to you both.
I usually never do this but I feel like this might help anyone. I waited 4 months before I said something about my right testicle was big and I ended up having testicular cancer that spread next to my kidney. I’m currently in the hospital to get my right testicle removed. I’m 24 and never thought I’d ever hear those words that I have cancer, but guys get checked out if you ever noticed anything unusual.
We're so sorry to hear this. You're in our thoughts.
Seminoma or non? How high were your tumor marker levels if I may ask ?
My left one is swollen and bigger in size compared to the right I was told it was varicocele veins awhile back but I don’t know man I’ve had it for years going to get it checked soon
Every now and then I’ll get this dull achy pain in my back and it feels like it in my lower stomach
Im 24 got my right testis removed yesterday iknow right it feels so weird to hear those words but it will be alright bro take care of yourself
Had surgery on 2/28/2024 to remove a 2.8cm tumor on left testicle. Pathology results revealed stage 1A pure seminoma, non-spreading outside and contained within the testicle. It's been removed and I'm recovering from surgery. Doctor said now I have to be monitored for the next 5 years with blood tests, x rays and CT scans, as per cancer protocol. Doctor is very confident that the surgery took care of it and I can live a normal life. She said the return rate is approx 5% but she feels highly unlikely. She said in the unlikely event that it does return, it can be treated with chemo & radiation. Still, she feels very confident the surgery took care of it all. She said it would have been a completely different story if I would have delayed by like a year or two.
No one wants to hear "cancer"...NO ONE. Been a wreck the last two weeks because I have a wife and 5 month old twin babies. All I pray for is to live long enough to see my children grow into adults and for the gift to be able to be a grandfather one day.
Just got my right testicle removed yesterday and luckily the tumor hasnt spread yet and was still contained inside the right testicle :)))
Thank you sir for your good words, im on the end of 3 chemo cycle. I have 2a non seminoma testicular cancer
Hello, it’s been a year have you survived? I had testicular cancer last year and got it removed. No chemo. I hope your recovery went well
Hope you are okay God bless you
@@NoahArnold07 hi I am wondering what were your symptoms? If you don’t mind me asking, I have a little bump on the top of my right testicle and idk if it’s bad or something sorry for being weird
I'm also having these symptoms and I'm scared. It's hard to go and have a check up because of the pandemic
What is your symptoms?
How are you doing now?
Hey how are you doing now?
Just got diagnosed today at 16. Long journey ahead
You'll make it man, no doubt. One of most treatable types, you'll be feeling stronger than ever in no time after it's all done.
You are correct young man. I think the Marines call it “embracing the suck”. I have been through all of it since 1998. I am still here but it sucked bad sometimes. It is a long hard journey.....but worth every effort. If you don’t believe ask the family I raised through all of it.
Best wishes to you.
80% of the people never replied about how they feel after surgery 😃
I just got surgery today to removed my right testicle. I am currently home laying down looking at videos to inform myself more as to the do’s & dont’s after surgery
Felt something on my right testicle I’m going to go the the doctors to get it checked out. Im abit nervous because it’s sensitive to us men. But I’ll keep you guys updated on my journey

I just got out of surgery having my right testicle removed. Hoping for great news on the backend, but whatever happens I am gonna kick ass! For anyone else going through this…you’re not alone!

Great words
Iv just been told I have high tumor markers in my testicals and am now on the list to have my right removed scared doesn't even cover it I have 4 children and twins on the way
Hi 👋 I’m 13 and I got testicular cancer and had surgery. The scar from the surgery and it fades away after a few years. Mostly 5-10 years you won’t be able to see it. Congrats on your kids and I hope you’re doing great 👍
I think i have this cancer. So i need to know how can i deal with it... It wasn't that painful but i think they look like not the same... I need your help to deal with this.
I have a tumor. Confirmed by an ultrasound I paid out of pocket for. I don’t have insurance currently. Not working enough hours to qualify. I’m working on that issue now. I’m scared and have already entertained the darkest of thoughts and planned for what to do or say to my loved ones in a worst case scenario.
I just want answers. I just want to know where I stand. I know I’m not alone in feeling this way. You’re all here too.
We're thinking of you.
I went to the urologist because I have a mass in my sac area not on my testicle and the first thing he suggests is cutting it off without barely doing any tests. I can't accept this. Why is removal the first step in 2022? This is unbelievable.

@@progamer5032 check yourself after a hot shower
@@leek3513 testicular cancer has a very high rate of survival. Not close to stomach pains. It is rarely to die from it if you get it removed quickly
@@NoahArnold07 But how do you know if you detected quickly your cancer? Because of the symptoms? I mean, if you didn't have low back pain nor fever (symptons of spreading) at the moment of detecting it, would you say that it was early detected?

I’ve been having random aching pains ever now n then for a few months now, n today I felt what feels like a slight lump on the bottom right of my testicle, I’m going to the doctors soon but I’m really scared, I’m 16 now and I’m praying I’ll be alright, but it’s scary none the less
Im going in about 4 hours, give us an update
I'm 16. 6 months ago I received a blow to the right testicle. Yesterday, on palpating the testicle, I felt a swelling as small as a grain of rice that is caught directly from the testicle. this swelling is strong and sometimes I can't find it. I only find it when I squeeze the testicle. is it a tumor? How small can a tumor be? please answer. I cry all the time and I don't know what it is. Can the tumor be so small?

Are you OK now bro
Hey.... I got aware about my undescended right testis when i was 23-24. I though i had one testis by birth. I get it removed in 2018 when i was approx. 24 years of age. Doctors told me that the Operation is successful & biopsy report was also fine. I get paychologically scared that Is there any change of cancer in the one left testis of mine. Kindly share your thoughts.
If theres someone can help me operation is so expensive 😔 please
Exactly 20 days ago i do usg and other test to identify testicular cancer but the reports are normal ..but today i see a hardness and lumb on my testicle ..does it can cancer or other something
Dont worry its just a casual thing
Go and see an urologist. It could save you a lot of troubles if you detect it early.
I had it since 2018-2019 I think I might have it I’m scared of that I may die of cancer I want get it beat is this beatable even with having it so long?
I have to go see a doctor because I feel a small bump on one of mine, I’m nervous

The ultra sound results said there were no abnormal thing seen on the testicle itself. So can this develop in like 4 weeks?

Is this cancer deadly?
Idk if these are also symptoms of testicular cancer but I'll share anyways because really I'm scared. In June of 2020 I had a UTI (Bladder infection). When I first had it my left testicle was swollen and hurting and that was the only time it felt like that. Fast forward a month or two later I feel these symptoms where sometimes my left will hang lower and be oddly shaped and the same thing with my right side. I also feel them get big or small during my day's, sometimes it'll be a slight pain at the right bottom or behind the scrotum near the right top, but not agonizing. Idk overall I'm just scared and I wanna be able to manifest my passions in life. And I still feel these symptoms. And also I'll urinate very little sometimes amd and there be times where it flows alright, even with my pooping, it's like I feel constipated but there'll be times where I can poop normally. To sun it all up I'm only 18 years of age and plz see this as soon as you can.🙏

one of the risk factors for testicular cancer is cryptorchidism (undescended testes)
i had my undescended testes(bi laterally) my mom noticed it when i was twelve so i went to the doctors to get it fixed via orchiopexy, however they removed one testis, i dont remember the reason i was still too young(that was in 2015) fast forward now in 2022 i realised i had a small lump beside my right testis(the only remaining testis i have LMAO) i went to the nurse, he gave me anti biotics and told me to come back after two weeks if the lump hasnt disappeared, guess what, its still there( its really small though, could it be a cancer?) i'll be visiting the hospital soon, i pray that it is not cancer because wow🥴👍
