Default Testicular cancer question.. observation... surgery.. or chemo?

I was diagnosed with a non-seminoma and recently had surgery where my right testicle was removed. Afterwards, I was given the options for Lymphnode Dissection, chemotherapy, or rigorous observation.. Has anyone else had to choose and what path did you take?

The choice given to you is - take care of it now, or continue taking care of it by numerous doctor visit for months to come with frequent biopsies. You need to make this decision on how you want to live your life in the coming years.

We have a friend who had cancer in one testicle. He had it removed and nothing was done further. Ten years later, he is still cancer free...and the proud father of a six year old son!
