I remember you never got an ultrasound. If you have a stuffy nose and think TC is potentially to blame I think u need to get some of the peace of mind that an ultrasound can give.

Since my last visit on here, my calcium deposit has not changed size at all, and the temporary pain I had, which I later realized was drawn on due to my constant messing with the testicle, has left. I have had no reason to assume the doctor was incorrect in his diagnosis. However, in the last few weeks, I have had a stuffy nose and was wondering if this is ever been a symptom in later stage testicular cancer? I have had allergies in the past and being in a new environment like I am, I'm willing to bet that is the cause. Out of all the stories I ever read back in June when this all first started, I never once heard about a stuffy nose being a symtom but I thought I'd check just to make sure. I have an appointment in two months with the urologist again and if things change before then, lump increases in size or pain returns or if a severe cough developes, I will. I'm not jumping to conclusions and freak out like I did before.
