Is It Necessary To Remove Testicles If Suffering From Testicular Cancer?

why haven't the doctors removed my partners testicle if they suspect testicular cancer? He has been receiving radiation therapy but not responding and now has to have chemo, but testicle still hasn't been removed. I was under the impression that this was the first thing to be done.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your partner has testicular cancer. Treatment depends on stage and type of cancer and spread. In many type of cancer first radio or chemotherapy is given and then surgery is done. So it is common practice. No need to worry. Give me report of his tumour so that I can help you further to choose treatment options.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
