Getting scared

[unsure_about_this]

I am worried about my health still, I am going to the GP as I worried about my testicles yet again, keep thinking the thing I am feeling is a bad lump, to someone who does not have HA think it more likely a cyst, or a tube. or just part of normal testicle.
I keep thinking that I got testicle cancer, I know it is important to check your testicles, I really need help.

I am still very scare, I know last time every thing was fine in December 2016, and had the scans done earlier last year, and 3 further exams by the GP, I am making myself feel very sick with worry, I am scare i have testicular cancer

You have had 4 exams and a scan and they were all normal. So you don't have faith in doctors or tests? I think you should talk to your doctor about your anxiety. You are not being rational in your thought process.

I am trying even though I been told these are cysts last year something to do with relating to the epdidymis I just cant get out of mind when I am checking something dont feel right. Whilst I am being checked on Wednesday, I will mention about my anxiety I meant to be on waiting list for CBT but no idea where I am on the list.

How likely is it that you have testicular cancer (a rare disease), when you've already been examined for it a number of times? I mean, come on.
As a guy, you probably haven't felt too many testicles other than your own, but I promise you, even normal testicles have some *lumpy* things in them; I assume these are the tubes and stuff.
I'm sure you are fine. Trust your doctor.

best wishes.

Sleep well, I spent 5 minutes this morning already checking my testicle, because I am worried, I know I got bad HA, It just that when I got told I had some cysts from the scan last year, afterwards I have repeated gone back to GP to see whether there have grown, I keep thinking that everything I feel down there is bad lump

Thank you for your comment, but my problem is every time I feel something which feels odd I panicing like mad, which is making me feeel more ill. I am going to talk to the GP on Wednesday after checking me over. I am scared what I am feeling is a bad lump and not thinking rational that it is these cysts, or a bundle of tubing or something less serious. To me every lump is bad

To me every lump is bad You are welcome :) And I hear you! The other thing is you need to try to cultivate 'healthy' thinking on this sure not easy, but give it a go!! So glad you are seeing your dr again and we are all made differently to each other some ppl will never find a lump others will like your self and then the panic starts! It's a vicious cycle that needs to be addressed :) Let us know what your dr says when you have been till then try and not keep checking ATB to you mate! Cheers

Thank you as also bumps confused me as well sometimes, a lot easily in the bath or shower to check. I dont know whether from last year when I told I have cysts got me worried more and more, I know that I got lots of hairs around the area

The fearing is making me want to die, worrying

I know there a lot of things which can cause these lumps other than my big fear (if I am feeling a lump) I know there are tubes, muscle, blood vessels, that long cord. I know i have two cysts from the last scan, the GP who I saw last December showed me the letter which was sent, even though I got a copy telling me there was a cyst, he showed me where the cysts were, the doctor in November and September (same GP) checked and nothing had changed

Also I noticed sometimes when I check not in the bath there feel firmer, I am sure sometimes I am probably pressing too hard and grabbing them a little too rough

Well I been the GP/doctor I saw could not feel the lumps, ask whether I could feel them, she is sending me for an ultrasound just to reassurance, she had a good feel round them. I mention the tubes etc and the cysts

I know what the ultrasound is like since I had one done last year and had the ultrasound on my abdominal a few years ago, I am hoping the gel is blue or white for my team.

When I had one done on a big lump on my leg a few years back just to check if it was cancerous or not turned out to be benign Yay :) The gel was clear sorry to disappoint you, but it wont be blue or white though! Cheers
