I can't imagine how scary that was to get that original diagnoses. I'll be thinking about you my friend—positive thoughts! Sometimes medical staff can be a bit callous or blasé in these kinds of situations. I don't think it's out of malice but because they deal with it every day.

Sort:  

You know the funny thing is way back then it happened so fast that we really didn't know. I went from having an infection to having a "seminoma". I remember we actually had to ask the doctor if it was cancer because he never actually said the word. Then two days later it was out and I was on my way to recovery. I remember I had it removed on Friday and I was back to work on Monday. It was crazy.

That sounds like a whirlwind. I wonder if they approach things that way so people don't worry too much? Withholding some info at certain times might be a blessing of sorts sometimes.

Yeah, I don't know. It was an interesting time for us. I definitely got really lucky.

I'm glad you did!
