I had a condition known as "varicose veins" in my left testicle (also referred to as "ball" or "nut" in my vocabulary) ever since Jr. High School. I checked my balls frequently through Jr High (many times a day) and almost as frequently thereafter (ha ha ha.)
A couple of months ago, I noticed a change..... The "veins" seemed to disappear and replaced by some sort of "mass." I experienced a slight bit of pain in my nut and lower abdomen and figured I better get it checked out by a doctor. My thoughts were that you don't want to mess around with something as important as your balls...
Sure enough, after my Doc felt me up, I was sent for blood tests and an ultrasound.
After having some sort of heated goo squirted all over my boys (it was pretty neat by the way - I may have to get one of those heated goo machines for later use,) it was confirmed that something was wrong. I was immediately sent back to my Doc.
It's funny that no-one has used the word "Cancer." My Doc told me that it was highly supicious and that I needed to see a Urologist and get a blood test to evaluate three key "tumor makers."
I knew it was bad when he personally called the Urologist on his cell phone and made an appt for me the following Mon at 8:15 AM. He also sent me for the blood tests immediately...
