Hurrah for not dying! blearyeyedboy said:
If you think you've got a lump you should get seen by your GP the same day and they should make room for you.
I recently experienced this with something much less serious than a proper lump, i had a mole that i caught and it went a bit pink and puffy and sensitive after healing up, when i noticed i panicked for a bit and then called the Surgery and was told that it would be 4days, explained what had happened and they said they could fit me in at the end of Surgery that evening just come down at 5:45.My Doctors receptionist is a proper T-Rex and even she was helpful with something like that.

Well done OP.
You know you can buy polypropleyne artificial testicles to have inserted, to get back original weight and feel.
They are quite pricey, about £200 each, but they do a special offer, 3 for £500!

That tickled me a bit. 
Actually, they're free.
But I chose not to.DJRC said:

Good on you, DJRC. ds see you bleed.
Keep on rocking.Words cannot describe the despair and hell of the last 3 weeks, not just death, but the utter destruction of everything I have been, achieved and worked for for the last 36yrs was on the line and I couldnt even tell my wife or family. Relief beyond imagination.

Powerful stuff DJ, and very nice to hear you got the right result.

ds see you bleed.Oh, such good, good news. I'm so happy for you! Luckily it's something that (despite seeing some other people I know cop the same) I haven't had so far, and hope to avoid obviously! But, life is fickle...
I am blessed to be ignorant of it until now though, and here's a story that made me think how lucky I really am:
I have had a recurring knee problem, that's necessitated 2 operations.
A few years ago, after seeing a consultant, I was referred for an MRI scan. I'm always naturally curious and interested in medical technology, so I read up on the scanners and how they work before my appointment.
Suitably excited, I bounded into the radiology suite, full of questions and enthusiasm about the machine, and bothered the operator with loads of technical questions, which he answered with good grace. I then asked how he liked his job, being as he was in charge of such an exciting bit of kit...
He wasn't too cheerful as it happens, and he eventually revealed why...turns out most of his scans were to see if cancer was developing / had returned in patients, and how difficult it was when he did a scan and could clearly see cancer had returned in patients after therapy...
It all went a bit quiet after that, and I left with great humility and sombreness

I'm glad you're well, live it up and enjoy it.
It goes without saying for someone like you who had serious health issues (I have too but different) that we know life is short so enjoy it as much as possible!
All the best,
Lee

apart from the name bit of course, Im not called lee. Something different and better
and possible more well known...Yet another thread bump.
Still OK. In fact... I've now finished my follow up and I don't need to go back at all. Ever. I'm now officially a Cancer Suvivor. That's such a good thing to be able to say.
It's never been so good to be told to "ps off, and don't ever come back." 
And Blearyeyedbaby is on the way in November. I have the most amazing, supportive wife and looking at the "Effing Cancer" thread, it's amazing how lucky I've been.
Party ahoy!
