Hey guys, been away for a week.
just wanted to let the guys here know that you should give your balls a good check.
I was getting this little twitch in my left testie, like you know how you don't really notice whether your gonads are there or not, there's no real feeling.
well i was getting this little twitch for a couple years, so I went to the doc's to get him to check it out as I can't feel them myself, too sensitive :)

so turns out I did have a little lump on my leftie, usually it's the right one apparently.
the next day I was in hospital to get my leftie removed, it happened so quick, they checked it and it was full of cancer.
but if you get any type of cancer then testicular cancer, or seminoma is about the best one to get 'cos it can be curable so long it hasn't spread to organs.

so yeah, then they need to give you radio therapy, in the stomach and abdomen area, which is quite a large area to zap with radiation.
really makes you feel ill, first zap and was chucking my guts up for 8 hours straight until i needed intravenus drip to rehydrate me.

so it's ok now, 10 years of check up's to make sure little fragments havent travelled to another area, but it's all looking pretty good.
appart from the fact that i only have one left, am i only half the man i used to be? :lol:

it all works fine though, made sure of that ;) can still have kids and all.
so it wouldn't hurt if every now and then when in the shower you give yourselves a little check, young un's probably need not worry for a while but 18+ you should check sometimes.

seminoma is about as common as breast cancer is for women, it's all about getting it early and you can go about life without a hitch.
 
Gee mate, that's terrible news. Glad you got it removed and hopefully that's all you have to worry about it and that you have 10 years of clear check-ups. :thumbsup:

All the best
 
WOW, glad it's all fine now. terrible to hear though. best of luck in the near and extended future
 
Damn man I thought at the start this was gonna be a long joke or something! But thats good to hear you had the balls (no joke intended :razz: ) to get it checked out as a lot of blokes might just ignore it rather than go to the doc's. Can I ask what your age is? How long were you in hospital for for the op? Good to hear it all went well though mate :v:
 
heh, well it's like it didn't really happen, just a dream.
the hospital thing is 3 days, it's the same op' as a hernia op'
they cut a slit in your groin area up around your pubes there and use long plastic tongs
to get way in there and pull one out, bit like bobbing for apples :)

well I'm 40 now but there was a 21 year old and others in their 20's going through the same thing.
fortunately for me it's just radio therapy, 16 jolts over a few weeks, but there were heaps of guys
at the next level unfortunately, going through chemo' therapy, nasty stuff.

I was expecting a joke too, I think because he went straight into it" just wanna let you guys know to get your balls checked" haha, its NOT laughing matter at all, and i am sorry to hear mate, hope all is well now, and thanks for the positive message that we/ us guys should check reguarly, I guess its one of those things you can easily take for granted and dont expect it, good luck and all the best man.
 
That is an important warning for all blokes out there mate, thanks for sharing and not bull****ting around with a serious issue.
All the best for continued clear results mate. Certainly makes me more aware now with 2 young kids I'll certainly watch my health.
 
Ahh ok sounds interesting taking them out that way thought it might of been a sack job. thanks for sharing though mate :v:
