Had the nut cancer back in 1990 when I was 26. Found a lump on a dumpling and went to my GP, he dismissed it as nothing-February. Went back again-May- and he made me feel like a fool. Found a different GP, went in and he was heading down the road to dismiss it too...."look it" I say, "I know these boys pretty well and I want you to prove there is no problem."

Refers me to a great Urologist, he schedules an ultrasound...July. Day after the ultrasound he calls and says we are scheduled to take the testicle out tomorrow, be at the hospital. Had to miss the Page/Plant concert...that sucked.

They do the biopsy and find two types of cancer....slow mover and fast kind. Ended up removing lymph-nodes in my abdomen -August-and 6 months chemo.

I never begrudge Dr.s making the big bucks....they do something I am mentally incapable of, but nobody really has your interest in mind 150% except you.

I took a package of testicular cancer pamphlets and dropped them off at Dr#1 office after all my hair fell out.
