Maybe: Many details are missing. Questions that need to be answered are: what marker is 800, where is the cancer currently located (lymph nodes, lungs, abdomen (retroperitoneum, brain)? What type of chemotherapy was given-6 cycles is unusual in testicular cancer. "salvage" treatments may be available depending on answers to the above questions.
