Many cancer cells travel around the body. The cells may only attach and grow in certain kinds of tissue, but that isn't always the case. At a basic level, cancer is mutated cells...sometimes they mutate more.

I had seminoma testicular cancer. If you must have one, it's what you want. It's very treatable, but also affects the lymphatic system of the body. I had tumors in one testicle and 2 lymph nodes in my abdomen.

Surgery for the testicular tumor, chemo for the others.

sure, but in that case I would expect someone to say cancer rather than specifically testicular cancer.

It's not that important, it just struck me that something was missing in the description.

It is specifically a testicular cancer. The cell type originates in the testicle. It’s a germ cell which are only found in reproductive organs. In my case doctors don’t really know why it “starts in the chest”. Some think it starts in the testes, moves up into the chest and the testes clear up. But there is no definitive science pointing to that. It is very rare. But it is definitely a type of testicular cancer. A rather shitty one unfortunately.
