Oct 22

morning at UNM Cancer Center. Surgery Nov 8. Testicle looks cancerous per ultrasound. Has to be removed. He’s pondering prosthetic (more does he do it at time of surgery or at a later date).
Right testicle appears “healthy” so this is the good news. I would prefer him to bank sperm but he’s just all over the map right now so I am letting him process.

Thanks for all the support to all my DU family.
