Hi guys,
I haven't been on here for a couple of years now and have generally been trying to make it through the HA minefield!
Anyhow, last Thursday I noticed a lump in one of my testicles which had me instantly worried obviously! I couldn't tell if it was just a cyst or something more sinister, so with a huge push I managed to get myself down to the doctors. He felt around and said he thinks it's a cyst, but he's not 100% so he's going to refer me to have bloods and an ultrasound.
I know he only said it to be sure, he's being thorough which I should be appreciative of, but it's got me really panicking! He said on the way out "If it is cancerous, an ultrasound should pick it up"...
I'm back at work, but frankly petrified that I'm going to be one of the unlucky ones. He said I'll have to wait anything up to six weeks for the ultra sound appointment - I don't know whether to be reassured by that or not.
I'm scared :weep:
