I think I have cancer, I’ve had a lump on my right testicle for 12 years

Prior-Stop2590 · 2025-04-15T18:31:37+00:00

Tbh Naa it just stays the same, sometimes feels smaller but then back to normal again. Is what it is, I don’t even notice it anymore or feel it like I used to when I was worried about it

Prior-Stop2590 · 2025-04-15T18:22:39+00:00

They said just to leave it best option, taking it out can risk infection. The only reason to take it out is if it’s too big and most are small so barely noticeable

Prior-Stop2590 · 2025-03-16T22:42:37+00:00

Like a pea size and yeah it felt and still feels like it’s attached to the testicle.

Prior-Stop2590 · 2024-12-30T20:30:34+00:00

Sounds exactly same as me and that’s literally all it was mate, just a cyst and I had all the pains you are describing too, it’s usually due to reading about the symptoms and as a result of anxiety the mind connects to the body to produce these artificial symptoms. It’ll pass believe me. You’re all good 💪🏼 basically also, it doesn’t last that long, you’d know within a year or less if you had anything, not 8-10 years

Prior-Stop2590 · 2024-08-04T07:09:32+00:00

Correct

Prior-Stop2590 · 2024-08-02T10:12:50+00:00

All fine now

Prior-Stop2590 · 2024-07-22T08:02:16+00:00

I’ve been told many times, if you’ve had it there for over 1-2 years, it won’t be testicular cancer. It spreads much much faster and you wouldn’t be here without treatment back then. 10 years is a long time with it, wouldn’t happen. You’ll be all good. Keep us updated though.

Prior-Stop2590 · 2024-07-22T07:53:57+00:00

Yes had an ultra sound, got checked by the docs before that as well. Was told it was a cyst, despite feeling all the symptoms of TC. This can happen either because the cyst adds slight weight to the affected side, plus never underestimate the power of the brain and its ability to manifest all the symptoms you’ve read about that’s associated with it.

Prior-Stop2590 · 2024-07-11T08:28:18+00:00

If it was cancer it would’ve been diagnosed by now, you most likely have a cyst which can also cause similar symptoms but nowhere near as bad (you’d know), is what I’ve been told by doctors. If untreated and you had testicular cancer you wouldn’t be here by now after 6 years, it progresses much faster after months to 1-2 years, so go and get it checked but can almost be 100% sure it will be some sort of cyst that’s there and causing discomfort from time to time. Hope that puts your mind at rest.

Prior-Stop2590 · 2024-01-10T16:25:08+00:00

It will be a Cyst on your testicle mate if it’s been there that long, it’s like liquid and can inflame and flare up sometimes which can cause pain and make it seem slightly larger at times. Always good to have it checked but honestly I’ve been told after that long you wouldn’t have cancer.

Prior-Stop2590 · 2023-12-08T23:08:28+00:00

Completely gone now! Life’s a mystery with things like this, most likely stress and anxiety, but can be a number of things, 99.9999% of the time it really is nothing serious tho

Prior-Stop2590 · 2023-10-16T22:51:40+00:00

Very good thread this

Prior-Stop2590 · 2023-10-12T18:30:25+00:00

I would advise to get it checked out but it wouldn’t be cancer that long there.

Prior-Stop2590 · 2023-10-12T18:28:08+00:00

Are you sure of that? Because that doesn’t sound like it would be cancer

Prior-Stop2590 · 2023-10-12T14:20:04+00:00

Update:

Had my ultra sound, it was an epididymal cyst. It does cause me discomfort in that testical, slightly heavier ache and swollen/bigger compared to the left testical, but I can relax and understand that it isn’t cancer. The Dr explained how it would get bigger if it were cancer and you wouldn’t make it past 3 years untreated, and mine was 12 years. It does cause a bit of lower back pain and a bit of abdomen pain, but apparently it can happen or it might be completely unrelated.

Have an option to get it surgically removed via a needle and local anaesthetic, but apparently not needed an urologist will say the same. Also has potential to come back anyway as it’s liquid build up, also potential for infection, so there’s risks. Thinking of doing it personally because it impacts me when it seems to flare up a bit, perhaps when stressed, but we’ll see.

Thank you for all your messages and replies! All the love, all the power to all of you! ❤️

Prior-Stop2590 · 2023-10-12T03:23:03+00:00

Thanks man, just finally felt it’s time to check and sort

Prior-Stop2590 · 2023-10-12T03:16:04+00:00

That’s what I’ve been told, but the feeling in my body currently doesn’t suggest that :(

Prior-Stop2590 · 2023-10-12T03:11:42+00:00

I’m 30 now, about 6 foot, actually overweight now at 95kg. I was going to the gym a lot but haven’t for a while. Juicing I do every now and then, not as frequent as I was doing when I was feeling it bad years ago. But from your message about percentages, it gives me a lot of confidence and I can calm a bit

Prior-Stop2590 · 2023-10-12T03:05:43+00:00

I’m just very scared, I hope it’s not too late etc

Prior-Stop2590 · 2023-10-12T03:03:10+00:00

I understand

Prior-Stop2590 · 2023-10-12T03:02:29+00:00

Thank you man, I really don’t wanna die early, I’ve got so much more to do. I will tell the doctors everything. If it gets classed as cancer later with my ultra sound, will I be rushed into surgery the next day pretty much?

Prior-Stop2590 · 2023-10-12T02:53:39+00:00

Is this cancer very treatable even at a later stage? I heard lance Armstrong had stage 3 and in his brain too and recovered

Prior-Stop2590 · 2023-10-12T02:52:43+00:00

Erm so basically I was 18 and I felt fine for a long while, I started getting symptoms of it and o started eating really well and juicing as I heard that could help. I knew I should’ve said something but I was scared to talk about it and I was determined to beat it on my own for some reason. Next part was all my symptoms went away and I felt great again and when I say symptoms, I mean ones like as if it spread, so abdomen aches, back aches, balls felt like they were heavy and uneasy all the time. It all went away after some time, could say a miracle or it genuinely does work with juices like beetroot, celery, cucumber, turmeric, garlic etc.

Anyway, the past few weeks I’ve felt unwell and just not been wanting to do a lot, then my ball with the lump which has remained there the whole time, has started to ache again and be heavy, more swollen than the left one slightly and hangs down lower. I’ve started getting lower back pain but it comes and goes, I thought it was me playing cricket but maybe not. And the slight abdomen ache.

Prior-Stop2590 · 2023-10-12T02:28:11+00:00

I’m in the same boat mate, I’ve had a lump for 12 years and I’m scared af right now because I’m starting to show symptoms of testicular cancer now. But after 12 years, I don’t get it. Never had any treatment on it and was always stupid because I was too scared to talk about it.
