I Just wonder what the lumps are after years

[rictic]

Hi there I felt to ask a little info about lumps on both testicles, the right one has two lumps one on the testicle and one on the tube. Now I have had them for as long as I can remember at least 20+ years. And on the left there is two very time one's like tiny spots been there about five years. I have never had any pains down there or anywhere else. I have never been to a doctor as I cart really feel that sad about them as yet. The thing is more for me, I have had nervous illness for over 30 years and I quite hate life so if its anything it may be my way out of this life's misery. But should ever my other illness inprove i would like to know if its any thing to worry about after so many years with these lumps. Sorry if I sound negative, but have a little hope at times.

You should certainly have it looked at by a urologist but you're probably ok. I can't think of any instance where testicular cancer would take 20+ years before it became a problem. It's most likely cysts or calcium deposits but just let a doctor check you out.

Hi Rictic,

I've sent you a private message.

well its only going down hill, I now have had some light feelings of pain in belly and the skin near testicle on the right one. And now I am getting more messed up due to the other problems. I will go doctor on Weneday 21st Nov. But i would think I will then be sent for a scan. So I find it strange after all these years, by the way a closer look at my diary is something like 15 years 1st lump showed up then other one about 8 years. Thanks for your helps so far. I will keep you posted. I just cart think its it worse now.

rictic:
Don't panic over the scan, in the US that would be fairly standard.

I cart help but have fears etc I had problems for 31 years with anxiety. I am sure its the worse case i am up against, with the latest sypmtoms. I cart find any other reason not to think so. I have stopped sleeping since last night. Thanks again for your very kind help.

Hi Rictic,

The mortality rate for all TC is ~5%. The mortality rate for clinical depression is more like 20%. Not that you have either, but it sounds like you may have symptoms of both. I would definitely let your doc know about your feelings of anxiety before you begin any treatments or even tests... the treatments for TC are not exactly calming.

There are drugs and treatments that can help with your anxiety. Whether or not you have TC, you should also address your other problems.

Best of luck to you, and keep us posted,

Regards,

djm

Hi there I just came back from the Doctors office and he gave me a general test and asked me loads of questions also examine me. he does not think at all its TC but more like varicocele or speamatocele. But sure I am wainting an scan in the next few days or so to get the all clear.


To the above post sure I am getting treatment for anxiety depression for the last 31 years, and have been in hospital many a time. I have also not worked for over 18 years. But I thank you very much for your kind time to post me.

i will post again after the scan and have seen the doctor for the report from them. I am very thankful for the support here many thanks.

Good luck with the scan. Youfr doctor is most likely correct in his diagnoses but try not to worry too much. I know, easier said then done, we've all been down that road. Please keep us posted.

Hi there I just came back from the scan, and both testicles were said to cancer free and no tumours. But he gave no explanation to what the two lumps are almost as if its nothing and saying its normal. The report is being sent to my Doctor and I have to visit him next week, also he will do many other checks for a clean bill of health throughout my body. I have no idea still why I have some feelings in my belly and a very small and I mean small discomfort feeling on the shaft area for about 3 mins a day. But I was asured I am cancer free. Thanks all I have been very blessed for you very kind help and support. I will post again if I ever get an answer what the small half pea lump is. I just cart beleive I waited with mental tourment 15 years or more.

I would bet that the doctors are correct and you have no cancer but, you should get some explanation as to what the lumps are. Anyway, congratulations on the clean bill of health.
