Hi John,
I'm a mom!! My son has had testicular cancer.
Although my son has grown to be a very strong and independent young man, there is nothing more important to me than being there for him when he has concerns or questions. Support and respect for your privacy can both be accomplished. If moments get difficult, share your need and the fact that you are uncomfortable. Most of all, you will feel best getting answers to any questions that you have. Good luck, you are on the right track!! Russell's Mom, Sharon

Hi John, I was worried about those things happening too. But one day I just went out and told my mom about it. The next day, the doctor examined my "equipment" no reaction there No worries buddy

Sure, that works. If you haven't already, be sure to read this post for more advice.

but wat should I say? Hey dad theres a bump on my right testicle

Hi, John. Although it's probably something other than cancer, you need to tell a parent and get it checked out. Don't worry about having an erection during the examination. It probably won't happen, and if it does, the doctor couldn't care less.

Hi my name is John and I am 13. About 1-2 months ago I noticed a small bump (about 1/3 the size of a pea) on my right testicle. But the wierd thing sometimes I can find it and sometimes I can't. What I fear most is telling my parents or getting an irection when the doctor checks me. Please help me.
