I never did find a lump. For me my testicles felt "heavy." When I bumped them unexpectantly like sitting down too hard or sliding out of a pickup truck bench seat and dragging them over the corner of the seat I noticed a increased feeling. Not pain, but almost a good sensation.
When I had testicles I used to like to have them sucked and massaged. This may have injured them and led to the cancer.
So, anyway, the "sensation" and heavy feelings increased so that I would notice feeling in my testicles just walking. I went and saw a doctor and he never even did an exam, he just sent me out for a ultrasound.
At the ultrasound the technition covered my penis with a towel just leaving the testicles hanging out and performed the ultrasound exam. She left the room and about 20 minutes later a doctor came in and said I had cancer and that I needed surgery immediately. 4 hours later I had no testicles.
To make sure the cancer didn't spread, after surgery I had multiple CT scans and blood tests. I ended up getting radiation therapy and now I seem to be free of cancer. btw: I don't recommend radiation.
You can see in my pics, my scrotum is just an empty bag. I've been considering getting jingle bells implanted there just for fun. You can get fake silicon testicles, but I've passed so far on that.
I still have orgasms, though the feel much different and are hard to obtained without prostate or anal massage. I do take testosterone injections to keep up male hormones. I didn't want my penis to shrival up and to grow breasts.
So, don't wait for a lump, if your testicles "feel funny" go see a doctor. A simple ultrasound is all it takes to find out for sure.
