So I just found out...

My grandfather just had that last year, the best testicular cancer doctor is out here in Phoenix, he invented little radiation seeds that they implant in your sack and cure the cancer, it's not as intense as chemo and his success rate is really outstanding, my grandfather was a little weak but he's also pushing 80 and he still functioned daily doing his activities. Also his cancer is gone. Ill see if I can find his name for you if you want. Theres nothing wrong with a second opinion when it comes to cancer, you dont want to fool around, it's really good if you caught it early, everyone in my family seems to get cancer.

Unfortunately I was an idiot and waited longer than I should of. I kept thinking I had just bumped it and it would feel better later. Some weeks it hurt and some weeks I didn't even notice it. However, I should of had warning sirens going off when I felt it and it felt hard as a rock. When I finally did get to the doctor and then the urologist he didn't even do tests. He wanted it out that day! Went in for surgery at 6pm and came home around 9. Since then its been tests and what not. Apparently they decided chemo was the way to go right now. I was all set to have the lymph node surgery too. That plan was axed after my urologist contacted a specialist in SF. This specialist in SF comes highly recommended too. He's on the national TC expert list. So I trust him.

Hey Uncle el, did you have cancer at one point?
