Apparently it's more common then I thought. 1 in 300 men ages 15-35 have/can get it.
I'll know the results tomorrow afternoon but if anyone has lumps/swelling in that certain region, get it checked out. If you wait the cancer can spread to the other parts of the body and then you can really be in trouble.
Just a heads up to anyone who noticed this on their package but is waiting for it to go away. Get it checked out!

Was it a distinct lump that you couldn't have missed? I always feel the **** out of my nuts, all paranoid and **** like, "Aw ****, what was that?......wait, what was that? Was that a cord or something?....aw fukk, do I have a tumor?....."
I waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overanalyze it.
So tell me, did you discover a lump?

saturday morning i was taking a piss and noticed it. i think i would have noticed it before but have a hard time believing it developed overnight.
its swelled up so it's now bigger then my right nut and has like 2 lumps in it so it isn't the same shape as my other nut (too many details? )
it's not painful which is actually a bad thing since no pain is a sign of cancer.
i'm going to get x-rayed tomorrow. i have a bad feeling about it.
**** sucks.

it's tough to describe.
my right nut is fine. but my left nut has like 2 lumps in it. they are hard and have caused my but to swell up so now it's bigger than my right one.
the lumps are pretty good size (definately noticeable if you look at em). in my case, if you looked at my package you would definately notice something wrong w/ my left nut (strong no homo). i know some people have had cases where the cancer (i dunno if i have it for sure yet, will know tomorrow) is less noticeable. just any irregularities in your nutsack.
from what i've read online i'm fairly certain i have it which is just fantastic...

wait you gone to the doc yet man? I convinced myself recently I had testicular cancer too, so i first went to the school doc and he said he felt nothing. Then I had shooting pains and was like WTF so I went to a urologist (specializes in reproductive stuff) and he felt around and said all was pretty much ok. I ended up having epiditimitis or prostatitis for the pain, which still hasnt gone away and sucks
Whatever case in point go to the doc before you freak yourself out. A lot of the times, if it is cancer, it can be treated successfully if you catch it soon enough.[]D[][]V[][]D[][]\[] [][]\[] '10

i just got back from the doc. he said he's not ruling out the possibility for cancer and is setting up appointments for my tomorrow morning.
i might have not made this clear in my earlier posts. the lump isn't on the outside of my testicle. like i can't pick at it or w/e. it's inside the skin. not sure if people are think it's outside the skin.
just clearing it up.

Bro your worrying too much. seriously. wait till you get the results before you start thinking. When you read the internet when you get "Symptoms" of something everyone always is talking about the worst possible situation. I have had heart palpitations, heachaches, soreness on my balls, and more and everytime I read symptoms and testicular cancer, or heart attack, or brain tumor comes up.
Im 100% healthy and its all just anxiety.
Your worrying yourself to death and you have no results. It could be a million things - or just a cyst.
I will pray for you that you dont have cancer and if you do im sure you will get through it man, but tomorrow when you get the news "your clear its just a cyst" or something you will hate yourself for worrying to death over this.
