My Brother is 23 and he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, THE EXACT SAME KIND THAT LANCE ARMSTRONG HAD. he went through chemo and it didn't do anything. It had spread to one lymph node before chemo and after the lymph node got bigger and spread 2 another. has anyone had the same thing and it end up working out. The next step is Surgery. 90% chance but no gurantees and what would be the next step? Thanks, The older brother.

There are a lot of different chemo drugs and now doctors in some cases can do testing prior to administering the chemo drugs to determine if the drugs will be beneficial in any particular type of cancer. I had a different type of cancer and opted for surgery first followed by chemo and radiation. Sometimes you have to keep fiddling with the meds to get them right.
