Testicular Cancer Support Group

i never openly talk about this with anyone. i write here b/c no one knows me off line from here so who cares, maybe ill learn something.

I've known for a # of years i have one testicle that hasn't dropped, it is stuck inside my intestine up in my stomach, the doctor said i need to have it removed now, which was last year due to cancer risks. i haven't done nothing bout it b/c im scared of the side effects, my father told me if i get this removed i will have more female traits.. weird i dont want boobs lol well anyways i have massive pain sometimes down there and still dont do nothing, is there anyone like me that knows a little more about this stuff and can tell me if i should go through with surgery or wait.. im lost on this one.

DUDE I had the exact same issue. I knew i always had one testical but didnt want to say anything because i was imbarresed but i couldnt take it anymore so i went to the doctor. I had my belly button cut open then another cut by my pubic area and another on my sack.They were able to stich the "testical" which was more of a mass of tissue into my scrodum. After that i had blood work done and found out i had testicular failure. You will not have more women trights,get this checked out and just tell your friends u had a hernia thats what i did. i am 16 and waited far to long to get it checked out and in doing so lowered my chances of saving it. I eventualy will need to have it removed but there are prostedic testicals that can be inserted.

I have been exactly where u are and thought i was the only one. I am glad i joined this because i really want to help u threw this
