Hey Paul,
I was alerted to your predicament by a canny wee Scots lassie on the other side of the world! I'm not on Kbers much these days.
My thoughts are with you & Vicki, you've been though enough I reckon! Take care *hug*
My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

Argh! Not the news i wanted tonight but not too bad either...
Yes - there is a tumour (the bad news) but it might be a fairly rare and reasonably OK one....
More prodding and likely some snipping.... fugit...

Good work on addressing the issue and getting it dealt to instead of waiting for it to be a bigger issue. I once spent three days in hospital across the way from a bloke who ignored just such an issue and he left before I did, if you get my drift.
Usual story; if you need anything let us know.

Sorry to hear that it is a tumour Paul. At least the professionals are on to it, and you get the necessary treatment as quickly as you can. Hoping for the best for you. I know it must be hard, but think as postively as you can mate. :hugs:

Well after a great deal of stressful 'over thinking', usually at 3amwe are getting better news.
The tumour appears to be in the epididymis which, if you are going to have a tumour at all is one of the better places (apparently).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epididymis
Usually - we would only expect less than 5% of these tumours to be malignant which is pretty good betting odds. So - in a couple of weeks I will visit the hospital, get knocked out, the surgeon will remove the offending epididymis and pass it to the pathologist. This person will give a thumbs up or down and a decision will be made on the fate of Mr left testicle.. (frankly - he's a little nervous about it)... Then my bits get sent to the lab - worst case I go back for a more complete exercision...
Anyway - I expect to be up and around shortly after the little op (thats a bit rich calling it an operation but since I'm having a general ana - erm anya - being knocked out) ...
Well maybe I won't be 'up' as such the next day - at least for a couple of days - Vicki says she is looking forward to the rest anyway...
In the worst case I loose a testicle and I gain a changing room talking point... I've not quite decided whether I want a collosal set of fake testicles or perhaps spikey ones like one of those dog toys - might even keep the squeaker if I go that way.. I figure a tinkly bell would set of the metal detector at the airport.
Anyway - now that i have a date for the op i feel it's a bit more under control and thus i feel a lot better.. Its been a rollercoaster i can tell you - a genuine epiphany and something I need to think about a little. Of course I feel more than a little foolish that it's probably not cancerous (there I said it) BUT let me tell you - it's NOT something you want to take any chances with. I detected this early and it's a simple proceedure... TRUST me - getting the prostrate checked is a zero after what I've been through BUT I'd do it again in a flash (no I didn't enjoy it)... The world seems a bit brighter today...
Guys and gals - check for lumps - get yer stuff checked regularly OK...

Fingers crossed Paul. A "squeaker" sounds like an excellent worst-case scenario...

Best of luck Paul. I've always liked the sound of tinkley bells . . .

Keep thinking positive, and never give up! (Works when you think you're gonna crash too...).Hope it's just a cyst!

What an awesome attitude Paul, you're a star in my book. All the best with the rest!

That's good news. I hope you'll have sweet dreams while they're working on your undercarriage - getting "knocked out" should be a rather weird experience(in the kinda non-experience way) I've been told.
Best of luck!
