Testicle Tumor


I hope the moderators approve this.
I was diagnosed yesterday with a testicle tumor, I will have surgery on Friday and have my left thing extracted. It will be one week till I know if it's a ''good'' or bad tumor and I'm really scared.
Have any of you gone through this ?...and please if you've lost someone due to this please don't tell me.

What Dr. Art has to say is quite correct. I see a lot of cancer patients (though am not a urologist) so have some experience. The course they are proposing for you is very sensible. You need to find out what it is and then figure out how to proceed from there. Trying to plan a lot before you know the diagnosis can often just be very frustrating so while its reasonable to look on the website but it may just upset you because you don't know the diagnosis. I generally try to focus my patients on the immediate ie figure out what you are dealing with, hear the options and determine which is best for you. Good luck. Happy to help in any way if you have any questions drop me a note.
