    Cancer sucks. Like, I really wish that I could just punch it in the face. You know, like Captain America does to solve all of our problems.

    Sounds similar to pains that men get from a vasectomy, but to a greater magnitude.

    A vasectomy is nothing, especially compared to the female equivalent.

    Best of luck on your road to recovery.
    Glad things didn't pan out worse than they did.
    Cheers.

    Ugh, this waiting to find out the results is the worst part. Not only that, while I'm physically sore and hurting from the surgery, mentality I'm ready to start moving around again, yet I have to take of my wound and not do too much. This all starting to wear on my family as we're in various stages of dealing with it.

    Did you get a wheelchair? I was stuck in one for about a week.

    Shitty experience to go though, but I think you'll agree that your life is something literally worth giving your left nut to keep.

    Wheelchair? Didn't know I could get one of those.

    And yeah, Aernaroth. It was worth it, now the right nut...I'm gonna have to think long and hard about one.

    I check myself about every month. Although my doctor said I don't need to be concerned about at my age. But I still check regardless. I wish you a speedy recovery.

    Holy Shit man, thanks for sharing your story. I now get the tom Green Avatar.

    I'm the same age as you and worry about this type of cancer as cancer is pretty common in my family. I had to give the boy a check after reading this.

    Again thanks for sharing this and the other guys too.

    God Bless and speedy recovery.

    The doc checks this and other stuff during my annual physical.

    Thanks guys, the pathology report confirmed that I had Seminoma cancer. The most common for testicular cancer, but luckily I had discovered it before the cancer spread. So no chemo or radiation for me. Now just two or three years of closely monitoring everything in case it does spread. So good news, considering the circumstances.

    Glad to hear you managed to catch it all in time!! Fingers crossed you only have to go for checks every few months (like me); they'll keep a close eye on the bugger from now on!!
