Hello Friends, 

I had testicular cancer in 2009, and cancer was spread to lungs, my only right testicle was removed, after that I had received 6 cycles of chemotherapy. now cancer is gone. I am fine and healthy now.

due to chemotherapy I lost my hairs, it grows back now but thin and less. my bread and moustache are also less and thin.I am 27 years old now and doing the job in NGO, my family wants to do my marriage,  but I am in fear that the cancer recurrence and transfer to the child.

also, tell me what blood tests are required to perform & consult the doctor before marriage.

is it necessary to tell my fiances that I had cancer in the past?

i will be waiting for your kind response.

    Im not sure if testicular cancer is inherrited i heard about colon and breast cancer hmm.but ypu did have cancer young especially because you imagine testicular cancer in 50 year olds so i would see if you can see if you have some gene mutation. But the thing is we never know. You might die in a car crash before the cancer comes back. Yes it would be nice to let her know. Life is unpredictable.

    Testicular cancer has a low rate of recurrance, and is very unlike to be passed on genetically. Whether you tell your fiance about it is your choice but personally I would.

      I'm not a Dr but I work in oncology. You do not need any special check up unless it is something that your family wish you to do
