Good evening everyone,
Well here’s something I’d never thought I had to deal with which is possible testicular cancer. So i don’t know where to reach out for just a discussion and a heads up of how this works. Being my dad had testicular cancer I guess looking at the % now it has always been on the table. So a couple weeks ago I started having testicular pain. Gave it a week thinking I may have “squished” them. Well a week later no dice, still some pain. Decided to go into a walk in clinic and they ordered an ultrasound. Results came back showing two solid masses. Had a chest X-ray that came back normal, along with a CT scan that showed nothing abnormal. I know this is good but should it ease my mind it’s more of a local thing or still possible spread even with the results? This is where a community is nice to reach out to. I’m lost and would like to know a few things. Did blood work along with a tumor marker test as well. Got a few results back today and the only abnormal readings were HCG levels of 2 which they marked as high. My LDH levels came back normal. Has anyone else had these type of readings as well? Regardless of what anything shows on any test the doc recommends an or orchiectomy regardless, which I’m not opposed to being the history and odds now. If anyone has any tips or just to talk about this it’d ease my mind and at least give me a few answers thank you!
