[COLOR=Blue]First off I would like to say thank you to whom ever is responsible for this site. We hear so much about other cancers and not nearly enough about this cancer, this place is truly a blessing for concerned people like myself that need a little more education on the matter of testicular cancer.
My husband has a large cyst located in his left testicle it was first found about 11 years ago it was about the size of a pea at the time, doctor said “no worries” well now 11 years later the cyst of no worries has grown to the size of a grape. For the last 6 to 9 months he has had lower stomach problems and thought maybe he had an ulcer. A week ago he was sent to the ER from his private doctor to have an ultra sound which showed the cyst. The doctor did call him back and told him that his blood tests came back and they would like for him to have a retest in 2 weeks as his liver tests (bilirubin was high) with that said the doctor would not discuss the findings of the ultra sound with him basically told him the urologist would go over the findings. His appointment is tomorrow and needless to say I am worried sick. We just moved about a year and a half ago so I am living without any means of support right now from my family or friends – my husband also does not want the family or our kids to know until we talk to the doctor.
I read that a cyst is usually not cancerous however in some causes they are filled with tumors so at this point I can confused by the difference between a cyst and a tumor.
His private doctor has basically prepared him for the worst telling him that he will probably have to have one of his testicles removed and that there was an 85% chance that it could be cancerous.
Should he have the cyst removed? He sees the urologist tomorrow so I am just biting my nails and playing the waiting game.
