DH may have testicular cancer. He found out today that he has to have surgery, I think it's called an inguinal orchiectomy. It may not be cancer, but they still have to do surgery so they can test it. (He was told surgery means a week off from work, so recovery takes a bit!) If it is cancer, he was told that it's likely very treatable. So, between me not having my period since my last miscarriage, me not having a plan yet (though I see the RE in couple hours), and him needing surgery and perhaps having cancer, my break is going to be a bit longer than expected. I'll still post here and lurk here sometimes. (And will give my RE update if I get any news). But I likely won't be here everyday anymore, just enough to check up on y'all!

Babydust!

I have since talked to DH, the surgery info was just via email yesterday. The dr isn't definately removing the testicle. Apparently, there's a small chance that the dr will be able to see if it's an infection and then it won't be removed. Otherwise, it's coming out and being tested. The recovery from the surgery takes a while either way. But, if it is an obvious non-cancer case, then I'll know after his surgery next Wed. If it gets taken out and tested, then it could be up to two weeks for results.
