Don't wait until April. If it's nothing you only lose a few hours, if it's cancer and you wait until April you could lose everything.Son Jason diagnosed 4/30/04, stage III. Right I/O 4/30/04. Graduated College 5/13/04. 4XEP 6/7/04 - 8/13/04. Full open RPLND 10/13/04. All Clear since.

Did you have to get anythign else removed?Comment

The chances are that you wont need anything done. Even in the worst case 70% are cured with the removal of the testicle.Son Jason diagnosed 4/30/04, stage III. Right I/O 4/30/04. Graduated College 5/13/04. 4XEP 6/7/04 - 8/13/04. Full open RPLND 10/13/04. All Clear since.

O YEAAAAA I WENT TO THE DOCS TODAY HE CHECKED AND HE SAID TO GO TO THIS UROLOGISTTTT AHHHHHHHHHH I FEEL GREAT.....what do i have to get ready for now?Comment

Isn't it amazing how much better you can feel by going to the doctors. Great job.
The urologist will feel the testicles and try and find the lump. If he finds one he may schedule you for an ultrasound but don't assume you have anything bad, it's just a precaution. If you get an ultrasound scheduled it will only take a few minutes, it will be another exam if the testicles and this will tell the doctor if the lump is solid or fluid filled, it's really a simple check. Good luck with the urologist.Son Jason diagnosed 4/30/04, stage III. Right I/O 4/30/04. Graduated College 5/13/04. 4XEP 6/7/04 - 8/13/04. Full open RPLND 10/13/04. All Clear since.

WOW i feel sooo much better, well today i did alot of things.....i went to the hospital to see a urologist and thanks dadmo i made an app. with dr.campo and since i already went to see one i didnt think i need a second.....well i went to the hospital and talked to a urologist and he said it might be a hydrocele. So i he called a place...i forget what it was called and i went today and got an autopsy, or some sortive scan where the gell this thing up and move it around on my testi. We got the pictures and on thurs. i'm going back to the urologist and he will make his decision as to what it is on that day. Will i have to go through surgery to get this fixed if it is infact a hydrocele?Comment
