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.

Foxtrot, In 1980 I went to my doctor who sent me to a urologist. Dr Naga said that the testicle would have to come off and that he was 90% sure it was a cancerous tumor. He said he could operate on Friday, it was then late Monday. I hesitated but said "Let's do it" and the operation went forward. A few days after the operation I was told it was Seminoma, one of the "better" types, that would be treated with radiation. Needless to say, that was 25 years ago and I have never looked back. A positive outlook and good support of my friends was very important to me. My doctors were wonderful as I am sure yours are as well. I have suffered no ill effects from the experience and look forward to each day as being "special". I sincerely wish you well and hold to the knowledge that much has been done to treat our cancer over the past 20-30 years. My prayers are with you as you move forward. God Bless!
