Hello I’m new here I’m 21 years old and I’m very worried about a lump in my right testical it’s not very big and it’s been there for about two years and hasn’t grown I think and I’m worried if it is cancer it’s too late to get treatment as it may have spread to other areas because of how long it’s been I have a doctors appointment soon and I’m very anxious I’m hoping someone here can help me I’m so scared
Hi Audiowhy5dbf51 and a very warm welcome to the Macmillan Community but sorry to hear about your ongoing concerns.
Let’s see what your doctor says and look for then to take the necessary action.
Should you find yourself navigating a cancer journey getting support from people who have walked or are walking the ‘exact same' journey can help a lot. (I have a completely different cancer).
The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so can I recommend that you look to join and put up your own post in our dedicated Testicular Cancer Support Group.
This group is a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
To connect in with the group please click on the link below…….
……. and once the group page opens you will see a [Black - Click to Join - Banner] at the bottom of the page, click in this box and this will then confirm that you have joined the group.
You can then introduce yourself to the group by putting up your very own post by clicking [+ Create new post] or [+] in the top right of the group page.
You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
The Macmillan Support Line is open between 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00…… this service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support or just a listening ear.
Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community.
