Hi,
About a year ago I found a lump on my left testicle (on the left side of the testicle towards the back a bit), and went to the Dr after a few months of making excuses to myself for not going; he told me it was an epidydimal cyst (EDIT: there was no pain what so ever with this lump).
So I thought nothing more of it until about 2 weeks ago, when I had pain in my left testicle, and about 1 week ago I noticed that the lump was now bigger, and painful to touch, and there's also a new even bigger lump on the same testicle (this one lower and more to the front, but still on the left side), this one is also painful to touch, but not as bad as the other one.
I keep meaning to see my GP but keep chickening out, also there are 3 female Dr's to 1 male Dr and I don't get to pick who I see if I make an appointment for the same day.
Any advice, or ideas of what it could be? Cancer? :weep: I'm also morbidly obese (25 stone) so I'm convinced if it is cancer, the surgury or treatment will kill me if the cancer doesnt.
