"Eat. Drink. Enjoy the work you do. Be thankful for the blessings God gives you in this life. Live, love and seek out the things that bring your heart joy. The rest is meaningless... Like chasing the wind." King Solomon

I rang the doctor, had a phone appointment and I have to go in at the beginning of the New Year if I want an examination
They didn't seem too worried because it was smaller than a pea but everything has to start off small, right?
Now this is going to ruin my Christmas and New Year, as if it wasn't already bad enough due to not being able to see family and the lockdowns etc.
I haven't slept all night and now I feel like I'm gonna be sick.
I honestly just wouldn't mind if both were removed. They're just more trouble than they're worth and I'm not interested in having children
Toby don’t let yourself spiral. Remember what it was like during your rectal HA fears? What did you do to help get out of that rabbit hole? Do the same thing now. Stop touching them and distract. Turn your thoughts elsewhere or you are going to fall in to this hole as fast as you did the last one.
Thanks Glass, I'm really struggling right now
It wasn't easy to get out of that CRC rabbit hole, it was only as months passed I realized I was probably alright (touch wood). The days (and nights) when I experienced symptoms were slow and hellish.
Testicular cancer fear isn't as bad as colon cancer fear, because testicular cancer is so curable. That gives me a little bit of relief. But then it's still cancer and I may be one of the unlucky ones with a rare form that is incurable or something.... I really hate thinking like that but it's possible given the bump is towards the top rather than on the sides (as lumps and bumps usually are with common testicular cancer)
Also, anything I do to distract myself really just makes me think "What are you doing? You may have testicular cancer"
Does anyone have anything else to add? I'm going out of my mind so any advice would be appreciated
It's Christmas 2020, and any anxiety sufferer worth their salt is going out of their mind.
It's not cancer, put it out of your mind and find something more fun to do.
