'

removal of the testicle is almost unavoidable. has to be done in 99.9% of cases from what I understand. I have been on the internet reading all day.

I am going to see a couple other docs and specialists tomorrow.. did not give me the possibilities of how it occured.. I have been trying to find links to steroids and cancerous cells but can't really find anything.. about to head out to borders books and buy some books.. hard to concentrate now to even read or study on it.. my mind is going a million miles per hour

thanks everyone for supporting comments

not to take away from the seriousness of the matter, but i know two younger peeps who had this and everything worked out fine. both got one testicle removed, and both got the fake testicle to replace it (for looks).
this happened about ten years ago and both guys are 100% unfazed.
so i'm confident you'll be cool!
and one time i thought i had the same thing, a nut blew up in size.
i freaked, went to the doc, and it turns out it was an epdiymis (sp)

Ok I did a quick scan and didnt see a single Natty Anabolic reference in this thread. I'm so disappointed.

I got a 2nd opinion today and that had the same diagnosis.. I have been up all night trying to read about it and I am really lucky that I have the least aggressive kind there is and that they caught it so early.
I read some horrid cases of it spreading to kidneys and lungs when it goes untreated.
I appreciate all the support here as a lot of you guys I talk to more than some of my friends I know in person.


does anyone know or ever read anything linking cancer and steroids?

I have just heard around here that H.G-H. and some roids may stimulate a tumor's growth - but not bring the actual tumor on to begin with.

Feel me?

That's all sourced here though, nothing from a medical journal.

You're gonna be cool.

Sorry to hear this news, My prayers go out to you bro.

Holy crap..
Well I hope that you get through this alright..It is stage 1 so atleast you were smart enough to catch it in time before it got too bad. I wish nothing but the best. Take care of you!
