Testicular Cancer

[AMomentofClarity]

Cancer and health anxiety are not mutually exclusive. They can exist alongside each other ya know.

So why not treat both at your next appointment? You can get reassurance for your physical symptoms and begin treatment for the mental side. Win-win right?

Besides, cancer must be much harder to deal with if you're having to manage severe anxiety as well.

I can't imagine why your testicles were sore after prodding them to test their "hardness"... it's not like they're sensitive or anything... oh wait...

They were sore before I prodded them. The both feel softer now generally, but a part of the left still feels hard.

Why did you prod them if they were sore?

It's been a while. During my self-examination I found this new small, somewhat movable lump. It was reay hard to find, and when I did it didn't really feel like it was on the testicle, more in the scrotum, because in its normal position I can't find it on the testicle. Cancerous lumps are hard aren't they, and I'm sure I remember reading on the testicle they have the texture of a stone. I think I know it's fine deep down but I am doubting myself a bit.

Just spent ages looking for it again, can't find it. Had a feel of the other one two, feels different.

so it has gone then - good news

I can feel a small lump on the back of my left testicle. Can cancer grow on the back? I'm not sure. I have to turn my testicle over to feel it, it is quite hard to find. I feel like I'm starting to fall down a rabbit hole I haven't been down for a long time.

In the nearly 5 months since this thread started, you would be extremely ill or not with us if you had untreated testicular cancer. Please look into real life help with your anxiety and for goodness sakes, keep your hands off your nads!
