Hello everyone and what a great community this is!
Many of us possibly stumbled here from Google and I found it hard to find a post similar to my situation that is kept up to date by the author so I have decided to do that in the hope that others can read and be part of my story.
On 11th Oct 2021 I discovered my left testicle was a little larger than it's next door neighbour. It was also firmer to the touch but no lumps anywhere. With two young kids, one of which likes to climb all over daddy, I put it down to the occasional wrong footing in that rather delicate area.
On the morning of 12th Oct 2021 the size difference seemed bigger and I thought I need to do something about this. GP appointment that day confirmed my thoughts and immediately referred for bloods and ultrasound. Advised roughly 2/3 week lead time for scan. Couldn't help feel deflated but thought it's one of the really well curable cancers so fingers crossed.
13th Oct 2021. Call from NHS to say they've had a cancellation and scan now booked in for 15th Oct. I'm delighted naturally but now starting to feel a dull ache from the affected testicle. Whilst this could be many things, I can't help but have a bad feeling about this.
I'll continue to keep this thread up to date
