Hi there, I was never taught about cancer or what I should feel when self checking at school, so I just wanted to check something. I started self checking a while ago as my cousin got a sist on one of his testicles. On the top (end nearest my penis) of both my testicles there are soft and medium sized pouches/lumps, are these something to be worried about, or are they just part of the testicle. Please get back to me as I am very concerned about this.

Thankyou

rokingram, there is no way for anyone on the Internet to tell you what those "lumps" are. I would go see your GP for an examination.

Let us know what you find out.

Get to the doctor and have it looked at. I am 33 years old and was diagnosed with testicular cancer on may 9 2008. I had no lumps until about a week before i went to the doctor. By the time i was diagnosed it had spread to the point that i had a 4" mass in my left lung and a 4" as well as a 2" mass in my right lung. The doctor said that i probably had it for 3 years before i was diagonesed. After surgery and highly aggressive chemo i was pronounced in remission on august 27, 2008. There is not a day that goes by that i don't wonder if this is something that would have been picked up if i went to the doctor for regular check-ups. Let me know how you make out, and i wish you the very best.

Mike
