I am currently waiting for removal of my left testi on 9/24. Below is a timeline so far if my experience
April-ish Pain ejactulating. only the one time
Late July Right testicle the tender to touch. Cleared up after a week or so
9/6 Lump on testicle
9/7 See GP
9/9 ultrasound
9/13 Pain in groin, frequent urination
9/14 - 16 Warm feeling, Pressure or aches about body; legs, neck, arms. All these feelings are mild and intermittent.
9/15 lump in lymph nodes in neck. Seem soft and movable
9/16 two more lumps in neck; total 3
Pain in heart, lower back, sides
9/16 Pain in left calf, feeling faint/shakey after 1 mile walk, warm sensation inside right elbow, pressure in right forearm, night sweats
9/16 See urologist
9/16 PM lump in chest, night sweats
9/17 Lower back pain
9/19 Lump on larynx
Has anyone experienced anything like this? It seems I can feel it spreading throughout my body. Is this normal? Does this seem rather quick?
I obviously am concerned about the pace here. The appointments seem so spaced out and no rush at all. I have a CT scan on order but waiting on insurance and then scheduling.
Any help is appreciated!
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read that you are currently waiting for surgery and it can feel that the appointments aren't coming quick enough.
I can see that you've already joined and posted in the testicular cancer group, which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support, and I'm sure one of the men there will reply to you soon.
While you're waiting for replies it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username. You could use what you've typed into the body of your questions.
