I have just found out that my dad has been diagnosed with testicular cancer, he's having surgery on Monday but the oncologist hasn't told him much about the cancer, or even what the prognosis is. They've told him that it's not the aggressive form of testicular cancer that younger men get (he's 66), but haven't really given him any more information than that. I've tried Google, but most of the information there is aimed at younger men, and therefore not the particular type of cancer that my dad has.
Does anyone know anyone with any experience of this? What can we expect, and is there anything that my dad can be doing to increase his chances of beating this?
