Could these symptoms be something else other than TC?

The mind can play strange games when you think you're sick. Just try and not overwhelm yourself with worry. Those symptoms may be nothing. Do you have a date for the doctors yet.

Is there any chance you can get an appointment soon. I don't want you to panic but the heaviness in the testicle is often the first sign that something is wrong.

[dadmo]

Just don't miss that appointment. Even if it's a simple infection it will need to be treated.

Cancer is the least likely thing for it to be. A cyst is more likely but it still needs to be checked.

I had a similar problem waiting to see a urologist in the UK when I found a lump. I went back to a different GP and he put me forward for a ultra-scan appointment on the NHS. For a testicular lump they are now obliged to get you seen within two weeks and the radiologer will be able to tell you there and then whether it's a cyst or something more sinister. You can opt to have the scan privately and get seen the same week (which I did) - but it does cost around £100 unless one of your parents has private medical cover. Either way, I would try not to worry too much, as the vast majority of lumps turn out to be non-cancerous.
