Bjorn, Sorry to hear of the difficult time you are having. One of the responders to my web page was about your age when he had both testicles surgically removed. He has offered to talk with other men undergoing any kind of treatment for testicular cancer. He prefers that I not publish his e-mail address, but if you would send me your e-mail address I will forward it to him and he will respond directly to you. He understands the unique perspective for men that is needed. If you see this post and wish to have him contact you please send your e-mail address to JudyBear+AEA-MSN.com or send a note through the Cancer Survivors On Line website at http://www.ahamade.com/CancerSurvivors You are in my thoughts and prayers.
