A couple of months ago I thought I had testicular cancer and was sent to see a specialist because the GP thought he felt a lump, all it turned out was a couple of cysts.

The last couple of days I been more worried about tc and the more you check the likely hood you feel more things.

My airbags (I mean testicles feel normal) not hard as rocks, can feel the tubes and the other junk, feel smooth

I know if I had tc I will probably have other symptoms.

If I could I would run to the doctors/Gps every day about every other problem I thought I had,

95% survival rate even if you did have it, which trust me you don't. It's hard to take this seriously saying it but it's true, leave your junk alone unless you get symptoms. I mean no disrespect at all, it's hard to say that in a formal manner. But your fine, and you DEFINITELY would have other symptoms. If you had TC your testicles wouldn't feel normal, so you just pretty much ruled it out yourself.

Thanks

I do have bad HA, cannot talk to my parents about it and they are both fed up with my worries the last couple of years. even though I am in my 30s.

The more I check the more I think I can feel lumps which are bad. I am getting no pains in my testicles apart from when I do i too hard and feeling the tubing too much and hard.

I am trying not to google. As I am now worried about my abdominal pain got a lot on my plate at the moment.

I am concerned about the cysts

All the letter said cysts was relating to the epdidymis (sp) which was seen on ultrasound and no other concerns this was back in late May 2016. and not further treatment at this stage. Had no follow up and letter copy to my GP. With the amounts on times I been to GP and with CBT the staff at the pratice know I got HA.

So it isn't cancer then. If they thought at all it was cancer they would and could not ignore it. :)


An epididymal cyst is a fluid-filled sac which grows at the top end of the testicle. It is benign (ie not caused by cancer). Some men get only one; others get several on both testicles.

I had a recent check for TC and was told that I had a cyst. I was told that a cancer is always very hard and gravelly (if that makes sense) and you cannot mistake it for anything else.

Thanks

I just feel that every ache i get anywhere, is the big c or could be spreading not just tc but any cancer (why cant I think aches are pretty common and it not always bad)

If I did have a lump there I would probably not be able to move it, the testicles will be bigger/size than normal for me.
