can tc remain unnoticed for 3 years?
can tc remain unnoticed for 3 years?
3 years ago (i was 20/21 years old) i started to get a ache in my right testicle at the bottom of the epididimus at the back near where the tubes connect. I did a self examination and couldnt feel anything out of the ordinary no lumps just a tender lower epididimus and a groin ache. I went to the GP about this and he said they all felt ok and nothing was done. Just after this i cant remember exactly i started to notice a lump under one of my breasts and tenderness again seeing the GP he said it was normal and after a couple of weeks the other breast had the same thing.
After a month or so the ache went and my breasts went back to normal.. (i cant remember if i had these at the same time but it was close) for the next 3 years nothing, no pain, no ache and i cant remember any lumps when i felt..
Now 3 years later (im now 24) i have just started to get the ache again in my groin region, im sure my testicle isnt aching as when i hold it i cant feel it aching, but this time i have noticed that i have a small lump (not firm) at the bottom of my epididimus where the tubes connect. I have seen my GP and they have said that there is nothing to worry about and that it is just a cyst. However i wanted to take things further and i have a UltraSound arranged for 6th Dec.
Now when i check my testicles the one with the cyst feels firmer (might just be me being stupid) but when i get out of the bath they both go back to normal all soft and i both feel the same (is this right? or would it be firm all the time)
After looking up these symptoms on the internet and reading allot more about it i have discovered that the breast enlargement could be linked to tc.
Now i have myself worried that i may have got tc 3 years ago and that its just gone unnoticed and that the GP didnt link the 2. However im sure if i had got it then the pain etc.. wouldnt just go away for 3 years? i would have thought it would just get worse until it was picked up?
Any information would be much appreciated.
