your son probably has neuropathy. His nerves must have got effected because of cancer medicines. Since testicular cancer is one which is curable, therapy for cancer cannot be compromised. Sorry that your son has bad adverse effects which usually doesnt happen so badly. Such severe neuropathy requiring amputation is rare. Medicines that can decrease neuropathic pain are available which will allay his pain
