Sitting at home after a partial orchiectomy to remove a leydig cell tumor from my left side. Docs think all will be OK and have to go in for follow up in a few weeks. All my markers and X-rays were clear so I'm feeling pretty hopeful. I have one question which I hope someone can shed some light on ... my left ball is not only swollen it's as hard as an eggshell .. what is this .. some sort of post op fluid collection? anyone any ideas ... it's not painful apart from the base where the mass was removed .....
