    Since you say you've had them for a long time, and it sounds like both testicles feel the same, it's likely you're just feeling part of the epididymis. Check these self-examination instructions and feel free to ask more questions.

        My guess is that you don't have cancer but any lumps on the testicles should be checked by a urologist. It may be a bit weird talking to your parents about it but as a parent I can tell you they won't think your being silly and they won't ask to see or check the lumps themselves.
        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.

        Treated by Dr. Rakowski of Midland Park, NJ. Visited Sloan Kettering for protocol advice. RPLND done at Sloan Kettering.
