So last Tuesday my son went to urology to check and over enlarged testicle which turned out just to be be fluid. They checked other one and are really concerned he has a suspicious mass whatever that means and a 2.5cm lump. My whole world has been turned upside down is only just turned 18 any advice or comfort would help my anxiety so bad I’m being sick with worry.
Hi Chappell and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and I know how a potential cancer diagnosis can affect the whole family.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the testicular cancer group, which is a great place to ask questions and share experiences around tests and diagnosis, and also the family and friends group where you can share your worries and emotions.
To join, just click on the links I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your son's recent tests into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on 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.
