im 22 and i havent been fully blown diagnosed with cancer yet but i was told today that there was an abnormal growth on my right boy and there was a 50-50 chance that it was cancerous. idk guys i climb towers for a livin im not scared of too much, God and my dad have about covered it all my life. but i just dont know how to feel about this it started sunday i went to the ER because i thought i had a hernia and he gave me some pain pill and sent me on my way. i went back monday because i couldnt even get out of the bed and he did an ultrasound and found the growth(tumor). and did blood work. well the urolagist wanted to see me today so i went down there today and he doesnt know anything hasnt seen anything. and i dont know i havent been able to sleep these past 2 nights been outa work all week so theres nothing to do but think about it. i mean i guess my main question is if it is cancer am i gunna definatly lose one of my boys? and im less than a year from getting married so is the one boy thats left gunna be able to do the work of 2?
i dont know i have never been so worked up about anything like this and i know that i may not have this but i MIGHT and that MIGHT is what scares me the most. i really need some feed back just something please. thanks jeremy

" Hey Mate,
I feel for you as Ive only just found a lump also on my right nut. Although I am still waiting for comfirmation, there are two different lumps on my testicle as well as enlarged lymph nodes in my mid section. One of my solid painless lumps is deep inset into the nut instead of just being on the outside.

I hope between the time you posted your first post to now that you havent been given too much bad news. I will be posting a post about my experiences instead of hijacking yours.

Good luck mate and if you want to chat, leave a message and I will get back to you asap.

Jarrod "

" If it is cancer you probably will lose on of the boys, but it's really not too big of a deal. I'm also 22 and I had testicular cancer in my left testicle when i was 18. They removed the testicle and other than surveilance I have been fine ever since. I am still able to have children and my sex drive hasnt changed at all. Even if it is cancer, it is very treatable. Dont worry so much. Everything will work out for the best. "
