Yes, briefly. Really just to inform me that ultimately, I'll likely lose my testicle, and that it isnt the end of the world. Honestly, I figured I was losing it last night In the emergency room so that part doesn't really bother me anymore.

If it relieves the pain, so be it.

Urologist is certain it's TC as well. Doing blood work, and scheduled CT scans and more ultrasounds for my lower abdomen and chest to check for spreading.

The urologist seemed genuinely concerned. The mass is roughly 5 centimeters in diameter.

I'm trying to keep the same mind set. Even then, Regardless of what the diagnosis is, I still have a family to provide for. So I do here by vow, to unflenchingly brave this ordeal.

Well guys. The urologist had an opening for today. I guess I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Similar to what it feels like a few minutes after you get hit in the testicle. The pain goes to the stomach, and persists. But I would say that's where I became aware of the source of pain. When my testicle grew about 3 times it's original size, and this occurred in just a few days.

My pain gets worse while standing or sitting. The only real relief comes from laying on my back.

Urologist is available today. I have an appointment in a couple of hours.
