recovery after orchiectomy ( testicular cancer)

[clev216]

I will be getting a testicle removed this Friday due to testicular cancer. the doctor said I will not be able to lift for 4 to 6 weeks. Im 22 Ive been training for around 1.5 years seriously and haven't taken more than 1 week off when I decided to do a deload. How much strength and muscle will I lose, what is the best approach to losing minimal gains.

I'd say eat plenty of protein and keep it high, also keep a calorie count that is optimal for keeping your body weight at one weight.

Good luck man

It's only a month to a month and a half. Eat good. Do mobility and stretches, and you won't lose much of anything. Good luck man.
