I am 1 month from commissioning from AFROTC and was recently diagnosed with Testicular Cancer. The tumor was removed and did not spread beyond. I had one round of adjuvant chemo therapy to ensure there were not any cells left anywhere at all. I have applied for all my clearances and will be providing my medical paperwork to DODMERB very soon. Thought about contacting DODMERB Consultants but do not see a phone number. Thanks in advance to those who look at this post.
 
First of all, I'm glad the cancer was caught early and removed.

What kind of cancer and stage was it? Was it testicular seminoma or a non-seminomatous germ cell? Also, did your adjuvant therapy bleomycin-etoposide-cisplatin (BEP)?

It was a non seminoma germ cell and I was treated with adjuvant BEP. I had no spreading of the cancer outside of the testicle itself. Stage pT1

Please check out better business bureau on DODMERB consultants. Very poor service, you can learn more from these posts on this website than what he promises.
