So I just found out that I might have testicular cancer.

is it true that fwapping 2x a day helps prevent testi cancer?

ya dude. believe me, if this didn't happen to me i wouldn't be telling you to get it checked out. the doctor checked me out for like 30 seconds. it's not a huge deal.
just don't wanna see something turn serious that could have been avoided.

i think it helps w/ prostate cancer later in life? can't remember for sure.

**Viktor777** · 04-01-2009, 04:17 PM

To be honest i have maybe two lumps or three on my balls. I have noticed them for maybe 3-4 years now never got them checked out. But if i did have cancer i would probably be dead by now. My balls never swell up though.

**someguy2000** · 04-01-2009, 04:20 PM

I got a lump on each of my ballocks. One was a veign other is a bunch of veigns lol waited a long time to check out because my mom told me I was being paranoid.

Best wishes man for a speedy recovery.

thanks dude.

i would suggest everyone get checked out if there are lumps down there. if it's nothing then your fine. but if there's a problem you NEED to get it taken care of asap. i just don't want anyone to have cancer that spreads b/c they procrastinated.

i really do appreciate all the support too. i have the family/friends who know about it that are keeping me supported but i really appreciate the uplifting comments i've received from you guys the past 2 days. nobody has been a dick or anything.
thanks again.

You're in my prayers bud...Stay strong.

**dts1789** · 04-01-2009, 04:55 PM

Anyone else that has a lump they're too scared to get checked out, man up and go to the doctor. It took me one day after i found a lump to race frantically to the doctor. Nothing to be embarassed about. I got lucky and only had a cyst though, but it certainly freaked me out and i'm still quite paranoid about it. Better to be safe than sorry though.

OP, good luck with the recovery process. Stay strong!

OP, can I have your pc and gaming systems if you die?

Wishing you all the best, but just in case......

I waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overanalyze it.

So tell me, did you discover a lump?

even if you do feel a lump, there's a chance it's a cyst. I found a lump on my testicles when I was like 14-16...

It was REAL obvious, but if I never felt my testicles I would have never found it. It was the size of a BB.

I think the doc said that if it's "on the outside" then it's a cyst... but if it's deeper like a pimple, then it is a tumor? dunno

Good lookin' out man.....

**cman1787** · 04-01-2009, 06:14 PM

damn, thats nuts

**bubba g** · 04-01-2009, 06:24 PM

Good luck, hopfuly if it is cancer, you got it early enough.

I don't know if the doctor told you, but I heard you can get a prostetic nut put in, so that everything looks normal.

Seeing that the remaining ball compensates for the one that was removed you should be good to go.

**jerseybowles** · 04-01-2009, 06:32 PM

i had a lump...dr told me it could be testicular cancer had me all worried and ****...had a ultra sound / nut sound and it was nothing but a little fatty cyst. Hopefully you will get the same results.

remember to ask them to warm up the ultra sound jelly before they go squirting it all over your balls

that happened yesterday. unfortunately the chick rubbing my nuts wasn't hot...

the ultra sound and the results from that showed i had a tumor, which was removed (with my nut) today.
your like 2 pages behind

**theyseeme** · 04-01-2009, 07:35 PM

the thought of losing a brah.. its... an awakening

if it's been 3-4 years it's prolly nothing. i still would recommend getting it checked out.
wouldn't u rather lose 1 or 2 of your nuts and be fine then keep your nuts and have cancer spread throughout your entire body? i didn't really think anyone would be against that.

if it was cancer/a tumor it would have spread in a few months (that's what the doc told me). 3-4 years and you would have been coughing up blood a while back. so i'm sure there's nothing wrong with you.

**dLewis187** · 04-01-2009, 08:05 PM

Sorry to hear.. good to see you still have a positive attitude. Whats the deal after that happens.. Are you going to get a fake ball ? your sack must look weird with only one in there (no homo)

i dunno man. i'm not gonna get an implant and it actually doesn't feel that weird (i though it would). i have to wear this jock strap like support thing for a week so the skin doesn't hang down. i'll know for sure what it looks like then.

there is a chance it can make u sterile, but not likely. i still need to get my sperm tested now that im cancer free. i had it frozen b4 i started chemo btw.

i had no lumps, just painless swelling in my right nut.

lol yea i felt like i was in my thread for a second.

outside the possibility that the cancer may have spread to another part of my body, the next worst part is i can't lift anything heavier than 10 pounds for 2 weeks and can't work out for a month.
it really pisses me off b/c i've put on 8 pounds last month by just eating a bit more and working out daily. so all that work is gonna go to waste while i have to chill for a month.

if u have to have chemo like me, u'll have a portacath (permanent IV) inserted underneath ur collar bone. it will stay there for the duration of ur chemo, and for months after it. im getting mine taking out in like 6 months. sucks big time, u cant lift until its out.

100% wrong blacks almost never get testicular cancer.

yea i remember that jockstrap. when u take it off after a week, ur sack is a shriveled up mess. it looks quite pathetic, but it looks better after a few months. ull know wut i mean.

good luck op. after i had my nut removed, i had another c t scan and was told i needed 3 cycles of BEP chemo since i had stage 2 cancer and it spread to my lower back(i had lower back pain a month b4 i found out i had cancer, little did in o that was the cancer spreading). worst time of my life, but i got through it, and now, 2 weeks later, im cancer free and loving life and its only going to get better. i want my hair back! tho its nice i havent had to shave since i started chemo jan 25.

**spartan-wannabe** · 04-05-2009, 11:01 AM

this is prolly stupid, but is it true that having a nut removed affects ur balance?

**TinFoil** · 04-05-2009, 11:08 AM

haha i never thought about it but that would make sense. ppl with 2 nuts have one that hangs lower to keep them from bouncing into each other and, somehow, to keep u balanced.

i havent noticed any real balancing issues. i freestyle footbag (hacksack pro) and have no trouble doing that.

**dan213** · 04-08-2009, 08:46 AM

i just got back from the doctor's with not so great news.
apparently this type of cancer isn't effectively treated with radiation so my 3 choices are watch and wait, chemo or major surgury (to remove potential cancer cells).
the cancer hasn't spread anywhere so i'm waiting back to hear on blood test results next week whether it shows signs of potential cancer cells.

i really don't wanna have to go through chemo (he said it would be 2-3 sessions) and would rather watch and wait and go back every 3 months for a year. but if my blood tests show results of potential cancer i'm gonna have to go through chemo.

thought i was gonna get a break but guess not. hopefully **** turns out good next week.

I had the major surgery, my mind couldn't deal with watching and waiting. It turned out after the surgery they made the discovery I was clear and didnt have to go through anything else (thank God, serious). If you have any questions PM me.
