Exactly two years ago i lost my right testicle to testicular cancer - and i feel better then ever!
Let me explain why:
It all started with a big party that i had organised two weeks earlier. The night before the party i first felt a lump about the size of a finger nail on my ball. I first pushed it aside as i had didn't want to ruin the party for myself after planning it for over 6 months. At the same time i was finally coming to terms with my sexuality after years of struggling with it, i even thought of coming out at the party at one point but didn't go through with it in the end...
So after the party i checked my balls every day hoping the lump might go away - it didn't. So after about 10 days it really started to fuck with my mind and after reading about possible explanations of this lump on the internet and other symptoms (mainly testicular cancer) i of course started to get these other symptoms (lower back pain) and couldn't sleep. I eventually had to throw up several times during one night. At that point i decided i had to see a doctor while simultaniously already choosing the music for my funeral (a bit of drama had to be
)
After that it all went fast, had the appointment, got diagnosed with testicular cancer and had the right testicle removed two days later.
That was pretty much it. Some bruising after surgery but otherwise no complications and no further treatment needed because it was caught at an early stage. Now i'm cancer free and just have to go to regular screenings.
In the 6 months after the surgery i had further doubts about coming out because my family started talking about me having kids a lot and they violated my trust when talking about my cancer to random people after telling me i should keep it quiet and not even tell my grandma about it for example...
Any way i finally did come out after a huge argument with my sister. In hindsight i think i had to be that way and it just had to come out after years of putting pressur on myself. Luckily my family didn't have an issue about it and we all get along well.
Personally i feel like i've become much calmer inside and i can be much more relaxed with other people aswell.
So even thought it started with bad news it all turned out well. So it's kind of a day of celebration for me
If anyone has any questions or wants to talk because you are in a similar situation just text me
