How big is the lump usually?

[kubrick]

Hi I was just wondering how big the lump is normally when it first appears and how long does it usually take to grow? Does a cancerous tumor always grow?
Thank you

Different people have described a lump the size of "a grain of rice" or "a pea." Others of us have a general feeling of heaviness or an enlarged testicle without an obvious lump. An active tumor will certainly grow, but different tumors can grow at different speeds.

If you have a lump that has you concerned, it's a good idea to see a doctor about it right away.
