Back in November, I was diagnosed with a testicular tumor and rushed into emergency surgery. Unfortunately, the pathology report confirmed it’s malignant. An MRI also picked up a few enlarged lymph nodes, about 10mm in diameter, so I’m heading to an oncology board meeting in a few days to figure out the next steps. Since this all started, I’ve been dealing with some incredibly rough digestive issues. I wanted to reach out to anyone who has walked this path: could these stomach problems be linked to the diagnosis itself? Also, should I expect chemotherapy to make these symptoms worse, or is there any chance it might actually help ease them?
