I got testicular cancer at the age of 40 and have lived for eight years

Testicular cancer patients usually have a high survival rate when they are detected early and receive scientific treatment, and many patients can live healthy lives for many years after treatment. Testicular cancer is a tumor that is easy to treat, especially when the cancer has not spread when it is discovered, the cure rate is very high, but regular follow-up is required to prevent recurrence or metastasis.

Treatments for testicular cancer mainly include surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Surgical resection is the first choice, and the tumor is usually removed by performing a orchiectomy on the affected side. If metastasis is present, chemotherapy, such as cisplatin-based drugs, is an effective means of removing potential cancer cells in the body. Radiotherapy is mainly for certain types (such as seminoma) and advanced conditions. Once the treatment is completed, regular blood tests, CT scans, etc. are required to monitor tumor marker levels and physical condition. After treatment, most patients can still live a normal life, including maintaining fertility, but may need to be treated in advance by preserving sperm.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoidance of smoking and drinking. If you have had testicular cancer, you need to pay special attention to regular medical visits to check whether the opposite testicle is healthy, so as to detect possible problems early. If you find symptoms such as a lump or abnormal pain in the testicle, it is recommended to see a doctor immediately, which is crucial to improving survival rate and quality of life. A reasonable and optimistic mental state can also help improve immune function and recovery effect.
