HI All my partner just told me today thathe has found two lumps. One on his testcile and the other above his penis ( he says on his lymph node). This is my nightmare come through. 18 months ago my son ( then 18 years old) had to have a testicle removed . He has been fine since thankfully. Now my partner has found these lumps. The doctor took some bloods and gave him an anti biotic just in case and he is due to have an ultra sound shortly. As my partner is 40 I know he is not likley to have the same type of cancer my son has . ( tertoma) I beleive if is testicular cancer it could be sarcoma?? Are the symptoms the same ?? Does this sound like testicular cancer ?? Frankly if its not an infection I would rather it was testicular cancer than some of the lymphomas I have heard about. Also my sons cancer never once showed up in his blood so I dont have much faith in blood tests. Will the ultra sound be enough or should be press for a biopsy ??
