I was diagnosed with testicular cancer january 2008. I had a orchectomy and went through 3 cycles of chemo therapy. after the chemo my count didnt go down to normal so my doctors suggested the rplnd surgery even though they had no evidence that my lymph nodes were impacted. I had that surgery at the end of may and it is now septeber. After the surgery was done we got the results back and there was no cancer in the 60 nodes that they took oout. It was bitter sweet news. and my scar hurts everday

so if anyone is thinking about having the rplnd surgery or going to have it and wants to talk about it write me and ill give you some insight on it
