Well five weeks ago i knew very little about testicular cancer but , you know what . Im pretty hot on it now ha ha . friday morning was weird as three weeks before i was in the GPs office disscussing a lumpy thing i'd found. "oh" said he, "go here." "Ok said i" so off i trotted to the urology department to get poked a prodded and have blood tests and ultrasounds done. that was a fun day . (oh if having an ultrsound wait for the jelly to be cleaned off before pulling up ur trousers Ha ! what a mess , oh well) So by the time id come back from my ultrasound messy the dr had the blood results back and said "right its got to come off its a tumar ," "right , ok ...erm..... great ! so the next day was samples tested, CT scans and booked in for the following friday (yesterday) for the op. strangely enough the biggest question of the week was prosthetic or not?
Needless to say my understanding of cancer has increased over the passed month or so , but i have the feeling this may go on for a while . im nursing my wounds tonight and ask if anyone can offer any advice or even a just fancy a chat please get in touch .
