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.

My cousin was diagnosed with testicular cancer a few years ago. It turned out to be malignant, but he went through all the usual therapies and came out of it fine. My best advice is to stay positive. I know--easier said than done. But there have been studies done that say mood can directly influence one's recovery from cancer. You may have one less nut, but it can be A LOT worse. I lost both parents, two aunts, two uncles, and one friend to cancer before I turned 30. Lean on your friends and relatives for support, pray for the best, and you'll be fine. And once you recover, fire up your system, and rejoice in how much more music you have to look forward to!
Thanks again guys, it really means a lot to me every single one of your comments, they indeed help to give me all the strenght I need right now.
I'm trying to figure now how should I name my new silicone buddy that will replace the bad one...

D Day is tomorrow Friday at 1500 (that's Santiago, Chile time * UTC +4)

Thanks again !!!

Well, "Lowball" might work if it, you know, hangs just...

As far as a name I've always been a fan of that ancient Greek tragedian, Testicles. Sorry, I've been saving that one up for years, and humor is great medicine.

I've crossed the tunnel you're entering. In my case it was bad happened 13 yrs ago (was 34 and married) with no kids at the time, had to endure two exploratory interventions after.....BUT my hair came back better than before the chemo, now top part of the head have gone thinner but that's another story. Have now three boys and doing fine.
You look internally for strength and make the solid decision that you'll make it to through it!! It's not going to be easy but remember fight fight fight and the first fight to win is with yourself be your best allied. Real close friends arise to the task and in my case my wife's and family attitude was an invaluable help.
All the best!!!!!
