Hi L,  

I just wanted to reach out to you as I have a son who is 13 years old and I would hate to think of him worrying on his own. I'm sure your parents will feel the same and would be happy that you can go to them with your worries.I think the best thing to do is to just tell them what you've said on here. Try to do it as soon as you can as the worrying will cause you unnecessary stress and I'm sure everything will be absolutely fine, you just need someone to put your mind at rest

Take care

Ashley

Hey ash, thank you so much for your reply, it has put my mind to ease and I have realised that this isn't something I can go through on my own. Tomorrow I'll tell my dad about it and hopefully I can get it checked out and it happens to be that it's nothing serious. I can't thank you enough for talking to me as I think I really needed that To relieve some of the anxiety I've been feeling. 

Hi L, 

just wanted to make sure you are ok and have managed to have a chat with your dad? Hopefully you've been able to get checked out and you are feeling a lot better now. I think you are fantastic for having the courage to reach out on this group and wish you all the very best.

Ash

Hey L,

Just wondering if you did manage to tell your Dad? I have a younger son (9 years old), but as a Dad I would really (and I mean really, really) want him to tell me if he had any concerns. 

Balls are funny shaped and there is a structure called the epidydymus (sp?) which is essentially coiled tubes which I know have scared me in the past feeling like a lump when examining but.........

.... as someone who has recently, personally experienced what Cancer can do the very most important thing is to get it checked and hopefully put your mind at rest  - and if you ultimately decide that you can't tell your Dad, is there anyone else you can trust who can support you?

Hope it goes well, let us know how you go.

Si
