  • Could someone help me with how I go about going to a&e and telling them about my lump

  • Hi Ryan74, 

    Our nurses will respond shortly to your message as they will be back online tomorrow but the NHS website has information on when to go to A&E. It mentions that A&E (accident and emergency) is for serious injuries and life-threatening emergencies only. If you are not sure what to do and want to speak to someone out of hours, ring 111 who will be able to help and point you in the right direction. You seem to be worried about having symptoms of testicular cancer so I would contact your GP tomorrow and book an appointment if you can to be seen by a doctor.

    These pains feel like they have spread over the years I am worried that I have left this too long my gp overlooked the lump last week  brushing it off as a part of your testicular structure this would not take a scientist to tell you that he is wrong this has really knocked my Confidence and now I don’t know where to turn because my gp should be the one referring me
