Hi all, I am 52 so a bit old for testicular cancer. But have had a heavy hard feeling in right testicle for a little while. GP sent me for ultrasound, which I had on the 23rd October. I thought something was up when the technician took so long and told me to contact GP for results if I had not heard in a couple of days. Anyway waited for GP to contact me. GP appointment was on the 29th October.. Urology appointment came in the morning before appointment with GP. GP reassuring but there is "mass". Urology next Thursday (7th November). I assume next step is tests and operation?
My wife is off work with her own health problems, and I am thinking to far ahead. Irrationally I'm thinking that because I am older, I may have had it for a while and not noticed! I did have a undescended testicle and this was not rectified till I was 12. So I'm worried about that as well. I'm a health professional (mental health not physical) and I would tell my clients to remain calm and take everything one step at a time. Knowing good advice and following it are not the same thing. Anyway how did people cope with the waiting?
