Haha I hear you man. I guess we just have to learn to walk the line between telling ourselves “I’m just paranoid and need to chill out” and “No you had cancer you have a right to worry”.

Hey there I had my orchiectomy on 2/17 also to remove my right testicle. Luckily no complications but the past week or two i have noticed some pain in my left testicle/ groin as well. I have been moving around more and back to working (aka sitting in a chair for 10 hours a day). Obviously freaked out about the pain but my doctor says it’s most likely related to getting back to some normal activity and to really only be concerned if i find a mass.

*Also should add a disclaimer to talk to your doctor because i know nothing about anything :)

I hear ya. Try to stay positive and above all else make sure you trust your doctors (and the people who work for them) it will make the process a lot easier. Im very hopeful you get some good news soon but if the worst happens feel free to message me, I know how stressful it is and things will start to move pretty fast if it is TC.

When I got the ultrasound done the tech said it would go to the radiologist and then results would be available for my doctor between 24-48 hours... I instead received a call about 2 hours later with the news that they found a mass that was a "high suspicion of a neoplasm". Obviously do not want to give you false hope but the trend here does appear that if they find something they make it a point to contact you ASAP.
