Guys. Don't forget to check your nuts!

While I was on the 15th MEU floating off the coast of Africa. I was laying in my rack watching a movie. I reached down to scratch my nuts and something didn't feel right. So I went to medical to get the boys checked out. They did an ultrasound and found something but couldn't determine what it was. So in less then 24 hours I was in a helicopter flying to land. 36 hours later I was greeted at the airport in San Diego by my family. My blood work suggests that I have seminoma testicular cancer. My CT scan didn't show that it had spread, so it looks like I had caught it early enough.I had my surgery yesterday to remove one of the boys and all is going good. I will get the results from the biopsy in two weeks. So check your boys every now and again.

Ironically, in the first bathroom I used on base in Africa was this poster posted on the wall in front of urinal
 
When I scratched my nut felt hard. Like hard plastic. No squishy per se. I just didn't feel normal. There was a lump that Dr. showed me but I didn't notice it. Then again I wasn't looking either.
 
And here I thought we were talking lug nuts......

Wow, good catch. Keep us posted with your medical outcome.
 
I am never reading this thread again. I can just imagine what many of the guys reading this might be doing...
 
Glad you got everything worked out. That can be some dangerous stuff.

I have a sort of funny horror story about nuts, while we're on the subject. About 25 years ago, one of my balls got very sore. So sore I could not stand it anymore so off to the expert in that field. When he came into the room, he said drop your drawers and when I did this he reached down and started squeezing that sore sucker like it was a dang tennis ball or something. I mean I was on my frigging tippy toes trying to get away from him and couldn't. After a couple of hours (really only about 20 sec. but feels like hours) he let go and I was like all the air left my lungs and I about dropped to the damn floor exhausted. Then he reached for the other one, which I am sure by then has gone back up into the body cavity from where it descended as an infant. I about screamed "what are you doing?" and he said "I have to check the other one also". Back up on the tippy toes. Man, I felt a dang ballerina or such. He finally let go of that one and said I had an infection in there. Epididymitis is something I will never forget. I had to wear a dang jock strap just to keep the boys from bouncing and I still walked bow legged for weeks. I'm telling you that thing was so sore I couldn't even touch it and he grabbed and started squeezing...pass out time. He gave me some antibiotic and said it will get better in a week or so and if it should start coming back in about 2 weeks to come back in. Well, it got lots better and then started getting really sore again so back I went. When he walked in the room that time, I was cupping the boys and whimpering over against the wall in horror of a repeat performance of ballerina dancing. He started laughing and said "I don't need to examine again" and gave me another round of antibiotics and that time it went away for good. If somebody were to hit me down there as hard as they could, I don't think it would be much worse than that experience. :shee

Had to pick myself up off the floor I was laughing so hard.


Sorry
 
Funny I currently have that. The right side hurt like a SOB. It felt the same way as when I had my vasectomy. I walked in my house and said my balls are killing me and all my wife said was hahahahaha. I went to my doc and he said drop your pants then he put both hands on my shoulder and I said be more gentle this time please. I don't like it rough. To watch this little Asian man who is so apologetic over anything he does. I totally got him.

This really makes me appreciate the fact that this is one of the only areas on me that don't hurt.
