Hi all,
I recently discovered a lump at the top of my testicle, possibly on the epidymis. I went to see a GP today, and he examined me. He couldn'd find the lump typically, and neither could i at the time. It was as if it vanished in thin air, can't say i expected any less. Not the first time this has happened.
Anyway, he reassured me that it wasn't anything sinister. I asked lots of questions about the differences between cancerous lumps and benigns lumps. However he told me that my testicle didn't meet any of the red flags for TC. His main reasons where the lack in change of shape and feel, and the lack of a lump. There were also no other symtoms. But as a cancer lump would be fairly obvious and undisappearing, i feel relatively positive.
However as time has moved on, I've found my hypochondria moving back to feelings of doubt. He did offer me an ultrasound, desite saying that he didn't think it was needed. I agreed, but I go on holiday abroad on Tuesday for 12 days. So i won't be back for a while.
So can you guys help, or advise? What do you think of what my doctor said etc? How do i accept the diagnosis and move on with my life??
Thanks
Ben
