My son was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2013. He was 22 years old. He had surgery to remove the tumor. A few months later his tumor marker numbers began to rise and his oncologist at N. Florida Cancer Center Wanted to proceed with chemo immediately. we went to Mayo for a second opinion and their testicular cancer specialist suggested that we take a wait and see approach. He said that if the cancer spread into his lymph nodes it would still be the same treatment. That suggestion totally turned me off to Mayo and we began chemo treatments at N. Florida Cancer Center. it has been 10 years. He is cancer free and he is thriving. I know Mayo offers several clinical trials, which we would not be opposed to. If his cancer does not respond to the chemo treatments, he’s receiving now I will consider mayo. I know several people who absolutely love mayo and wouldn’t go anywhere else. I also know some people that I’ve had negative results with mayo, so I really do not know.
