Armstrong's was even bigger than that when he finally went in.

Amazing post, Gundo. Hope you enjoy a full recovery.

I've gone in and had an exam (happily, it was negative). It's not a big deal. A great uncle died of embarassment because he was too afraid to get looked at. He's missed out on unbelievable amounts of things with family, friends, etc.

Right on Gundo. Thanks for speaking up on this.

Amazing that machismo is so crippling in our society that it prevents people from going to the doctor when they have a tennis ball sized lump growing from their testicles. This topic needs a lot more awareness.

It was actually about 6 weeks when I first noticed the symptoms until it got to the point where I could not stand up straight and my back ached due to the extra weight pulling down. As far as it being normal, for the type of Cancer that tumor was yes it was normal but there are so many different factors that come into play there isn't really a "normal", there is kind of only a what should come next.
