I need you guys help on something, i think i have tc and im really afraid . I just told my parents because i couldnt take it anymore i was too scared before . Sympthoms have appeared quite awhile ago , if im not wrong it was a year ago or maybe longer. At my left testicle there is a pea sized lump and it hurts when i squeeze it . Together with the lump there is some squishy thingy but i think its just the tube that transfers sperm but it makes my left testicle look huge and bigger than my right which i think is not affected . Am i too late ? isit the last stage of tc? I DONT WANNA DIE T.T ZZZ I STILL GOT SCHOOL AND STUFF PLS HELP ME T.T

Good work telling your parents. You should get to a urologist to have it checked out. Chances are good that it's a spermatocele or varicocele or something else less serious than cancer, but the best way to be sure is to see a doctor. No matter what -- it's definitely not too late! Hang in there, and keep us posted.Scott

Welcome, and it is not too late! You should ask your parents to take you to a urologist, a doctor that specializes in the urinary and genital tract. If you can get in sooner to a general doc or pediatrician that's OK too, but an ultrasound is the best way to diagnose what you are feeling. Please post back and let us know what the doc tells you .Retired moderator. Husband, left I/O 16Dec2005, stage I seminoma with elevated b-HCG, no LVI, RTx15 (25Gy). All clear ever since.

A urologist is the best place to start. The chances you have tc are pretty small but your being smart getting that lump checked. I understand hoew scared you are but were here for you.

Singapore, shouldn't you be in bedYou're certainly very mature for your age. My son was 23 when he had a problem he was uncomfortable about telling us. Please let us know what the doctor has to say.

Here comes a bit of advice.....stop smoking. Now. You're 14 and are starting a path that can lead to lung cancer and other cancers that are NOT easily treatable and cureable.Retired moderator.

You've shown amazing maturity already, maybe you can help your parents stop or at least cut back and smoke outside. It's worth a shot and it will be good for all of you.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.
