Urologist Visit
So my doctors visit was on Wednesday, May 19th 2010 at 2:00 PM. My wife, who has been amazingly supportive through this, met me at the house and we drove out together. We were seated in an exam room and our doctor came to speak to us. His name is Dr. E.C "Chip" Winkel. Very nice guy and made us both feel at ease. He explained that I had a large tumor and that my right testicle would have to be removed. He let us know that once they got the pathology reports back, that the next course of action would be determined. He said that if I had cancer, that I picked the best one. In men my age (35), it is the most treatable and has the hghest recovery rate of any other form of cancer. He talked about a guy who had testicular cancer that spread to his brain who won the Tour de France 7 times. Ever heard of Lance Armstrong ?? So that made us feel a lot better. So at this point we have some more answers but a lot more questions. The one thing I did know, is that I was having one of my testicles removed in 48 hours and was starting to get scared.
