Spoke to the doc yest. Doc say this germ cell tumor is a rare kind of cancer happens mostly to adult males...But my bro's one is more dangerous.It is catagaies under 3 stages, Low risk, indemmiate risk and high risk..My bro is under the high risk column. Got 50-50 chance of survival..haiz...But doc say its not gentic and won't spread lor.
This type of cancer are form from undeveloped cells....
Was so heartpain when i see him gasping for air on tues evening when he 1st did the chemo...Nurse quickyl gave him oxygen mask.but he looks bta yest morning..

Doc say he might survive for 5yrs if this chemo is a success =).

Jenn, till now waiting for pierce contrib lor.. and Jam also.. if she happens to see our thread that day.. I told Berry to sms her leh.. cuz I dun have her no.
Newbbi, even though ur bro falls under the high risk zone hor, there's still probability of recovery close to 100%.. I called my cousin to confirm. So I dunno what ur doc has say, but I reckon he need not only chemotherapy to kill the tumor, but also need a series of strong antibiotics to strengthen his immune system. With some luck, he said if the germs are not resistant to the antibiotics given.. he can be cured, that is till old
