I have a small growth in my scrotum. It has been a few years now. I have been contemplating going for a cancer test but am so scared of the results. Am 36 years and I don't think I can handle the news of having prostrate cancer at this age. How do I handle this?
Hi Junior and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
It's natural to be scared when you find something wrong with your body but the only way of finding out what it is is to seek medical help. Your first step would be to make an appointment to see your GP and, if necessary, they will refer you on to an experienced hospital team.
