What's not to get? He got a back transplant from his brother.

Congrats man! I remember seeing your other AMA and I'm glad to hear that you pulled through! My dad was diagnosed with testicular cancer around 1990. I was only about 5 years old so I didn't really know what was going on. He survived and I can't tell you how thankful I am to have him around to this day. Unfortunately, the chemotherapy and other treatment in general at that time was not as good as it is today and it ended up doing a lot of nerve damage to him, especially in his hands and feet. So he's dealt with chronic pain pretty much the entire time since it happened and it's really taken a toll on him.

I guess my question would be did they tell you anything about possibilities or expectations of long term effects from your treatment? I assume it's improved a great deal in the last 24 years, but is there still the risk of things like long term nerve damage or have they pretty much perfected it to the point where you go back to basically 100%? I hope it's the latter, and congratulations again!
