helpmeplz:
Even in late stages testicular cancer is curable. What makes you think you have tc? It would be rare indeed for you to be born with it.

[helpmeplz]

I'm not 100% sure thats why i should get it checked it just sounds like it from all the symptoms online. If it's not TC what else could it be i have most of the symptoms.



What will be the effects of wating so long before, during, and after surgery.

[dadmo]

What symptoms do you have? If you're convinced that you have tc get yourself to a urologist as soon as possible. To be blunt the effect of waiting to long can be death. Tc is very curable in the late stages but as with any cancer there is a point of no return.

Ok ill tell you what i feel my right testicle feels normal.

My left testicle i can feel the normal part but attached to it all around it is lumps and stuff which almost doubles the size.

What else could it be if not TC.

Maybe, Hopefully its not TC i just got all worked up i just noticed online symptoms yesterday.

[dadmo]

It could be a simple infection a cyst or a benign tumor. Don't assume tc but get it checked.

[helpmeplz]

Im pretty sure its not a cyst i had a cyst about a week ago and lucky it went away

what a benign Tumor is it curable and less serious?

[dadmo]

Did you go to the doctor for the cyst? If it is a benign tumor it will be removed and that will be that, no other treatment should be required. But before you even worry about that get yourself to a doctor for a proper diagnosis.

[helpmeplz]

ok once again i jumped to a conclusion about having a cyst but for this one i was pretty sure and i didnt see a docotr about it. It had at the symptoms but now its gone so im not worried about it anymore

The thing on my testicle isnt anything like the cyst at all. I have question: lets say i do have TC but havent gone to a doctor yet is there anyway i can tell if its at stage 2 or 3

[dadmo]

Why are you avoiding the doctor?

[helpmeplz]

im not kinda

Im not avoiding the doctor sorta

I'm going to get a physical for soccer
but thats not for almost a month do you think i need to see the docotr now or can it wait a month, or shouldnt i even talk about it during the physical....

about how long does it take to spread to other stages

[dadmo]

A sports physical will not detect tc. I would get to a urologist and let him check you out. Don't put this off if it is tc the sooner it's caught the better.

I have question: lets say i do have TC but havent gone to a doctor yet is there anyway i can tell if its at stage 2 or 3

The only thing to do is talk to a parent and have your doctor check it out. Anything else is just speculation.

1 month could be the difference between life and death for a patient with aggressive cancer... 2 words that should NEVER be spoken in the same sententence CANCER and WAIT... Don't be foolish...get checked ASAP!!!!

Hey-- Does what you feel, feel like a big lumpy bag of worms? It could be what is called a varicocele, a harmless condition. A friend asked me about something that was in his words "wierd lumpy stuff in the back of my ball that makes my one nut look twice the size of the other." Sounds similar to what you are saying. Talk to your parents and go to a urologist, a simple painless ultrasound will give you the answers you are looking for and your parents and all of us here will be proud of you for taking care of your health and not possibly putting yourself at danger. Sucks to have to worry and wait-- the sooner you go the better, promise.
