[|AI|]  Hi, the type of testicular cancer should be mentioned. You have mentioned the marker but what marker is rising should be mentioned. Probably you are talking about testicular germ cell tumor. Stem cell transplant can be done in a patient who are in complete remission after high dose chemotherapy, there is always a fair chance of getting cured. If your doctors are thinking so, you should follow there direction. Double transplant is still investigational approach. Not so much mature data are available still now. But this option can definitely be tried if your doctors think so.
