    Hi folks - I had my GB in 2005 and physically have been doing very well, though I've been dealing with some regain over the past year or so.

    I recently was diagnosed with testicular cancer - just had surgery today to to remove the infected testical and was told that depending on the pathology report might be doing oral chemo.

    I'll be asking my oncologist this quesiton as well, but won't be seeing them for a week or two, so I thought I'd ask if any of all y'all know - with the mal-absorption issue of GB, is oral chemo still an option? It sounds like a good alternative to having to go the IV route...

    I'm just beginning to do my own research so any info would be helpful!

    thanks,
    gene

    Hi Nanners - My urologist was originally talking oral, but I ended up doing one dose of chemo and just got did my first 3mo follow - looking good so far!

    thanks,
