    cheers Guys.
    Don , youve really been through quite a lot. When did you realise that something was up. Was it a small lump or was it something that seemed to grow quickly and how soon after did you go to the doctor about it?

    Generally, "catching it early" means "before it has a chance to spread," with no particular length of time implied.

    How early is early??

    Hi everyone, i just wanted to know what is meant by catching the cancer early?

    Obviously i understand that dealing with the problem early is essential and will prevent it from spreading elsewhere. But i dont know what is categorised as being early. Are we talking months , a couple of years or does it all depend on the growth of the type of cancer?

    I am a little bit concerned as i noticed i was a little bit sensitive in my left testicle for about 4 years, but assumed that it was normal to be sensitive in that region. I also thought that the very small lump was just a part of my anatomy and wasnt sure. It didnt seem to get much bigger over the 4 or so years.

    I know i should have checked it sooner at the doctors but i just really didnt think it was anything to worry about.

    Has anyone any views on this ?
