So,
I get that odd feeling (associated with testicular cancer) in my remaining testical. I still have it. It is that dull kinda weird feeling with a sensation of heaviness.
I am feeling around down there and I feel a lump so I go to get an Ultrasound and the tech tells me yep that is your epididimys. He said everthing looks okay yet I still have that feeling.

Is this a normal feeling for one who only has one left?

You folks are the only peopl I felt I could ask.


Any thoughts would be nice..

We are very used to hearing that question! Your experience is very common, and since you've had an ultrasound that found nothing, I wouldn't worry.

Sounds like par for the course; if the U/S says nothing, then that seems convincing enough that you are fine. I think what sucks more is the mental stress involved with the worrying. If anything, it's still a good habit to do self-exams every now and then just like everyone should.

Clyde-on,

It's me, your TC twin brother. Welcome back :). If I remember correctly you were diagnosed ~ the same time. I get it to, I'm going to see my Uro on Wednesday, I have a lump that I'm pretty sure is my epi, but it just looks different.

The heaviness largely resolved, but I think that warm days are worse. Congrats on your successful US, it sounds like you're fine!

When is your next CT?
