I'm 19 years old, and about 5 or 6 years ago I found a lump in my testicle. I was too scared and embarrased to go to the doctor. Ever since I've made excuses about not telling anyone, and lumps have appeared more and more all over my body. I'm still active and healthy enough, which is one reason I'm confused, but seeing as i've never told the doctor I don't know if this is OK or out the ordinart. Its hard living a double life with such a huge burden on my shoulders. I'm currently at university, and I need help. My life just feels like its all coming to a peak and I need advice
Right to start off go to the Dr's to see about it pal I went because I thought my nut was up side down and the tubes were twisted it was awkward at first just standing there but once u drop them that's it that the biggest thing out of the way u need to see a Dr Bro
You would feel so much better if you could share this with a GOOD friend or family member,whoever you feel safest with, and ask them to go with you to the doctor,for at least moral support,if you are too scared to go alone.
i t will help to know that someone will understand your problem,but find a true friend to go with.u
Lots of Luck.
W. and then make an appointment to see your doctor.
Universities have great medical offices. And on campus doctor offices. There isn't anything they haven't seen before. I mean doctors do colonoscopies. Don't be emberresed. Also these bumps could just be lymp nodes that swell sometimes. If they aren't getting bigger and bigger I don't think it's cause for concern but if you have many of then you might as well get it checked out to save yourself from worry. No reason to worry if you don't know if there is anything to worry about. You can do it make a doc apoontment to get it checked out to ease your mind
I'm booked in for an appointment for this afternoon, thank you mate. I cried my eyes out seeing people had replied, I've never told anyone
I'm booked in for this afternoon. I've lived like this for so long, I can't even remember what it's like not living with this secret. On the phone to the receptionist was the first time i've ever said that I think i've got cancer. Thankyou for helping me out
I can't tell anyone, I don't live near my parents at the moment and I just can't call them, not yet.
If it comes through that I am sick, the Doctor will let them know I hope. Thankyou for replying, I can't stop crying and I literally can't remember the last time I cried
No problem buddy hope all goes well for u and anything we all have your back on here any time
How did it go buddy?
The doctor said she thinks its something to do with my lymph nodes, which would suggests the lumps around my body. She doesn't think its cancer! I'm going for a blood test tomorrow, and a scan soon. Can't believe it, I've thought it was for so long that now I dunno what to do with myself! Thanks so much everyone for your advice, and just replying 
No problem pal any time if u need anything else were always here and I'm glad everything went well
I should try and get to a Gp for a referal to a cancer specialist.
