***Apparently, I lied. The torture continues...***
3-1-2005
Sunday evening I felt a slight tinge of pain in my lower right abdomen, right where I had the pain Christmas Eve and through the month of January. By Monday morning I was doubled over and was uncertain if I would try to go to either of my classes or to work afterwards. The pain died down enough that I could manage all three obligations, but towards the end of my shift (10:00pm) the pain kicked in again. I ended up going to bed shortly after midnight, a full 5 hours earlier than I normally do. I've already made a new appointment to see the doctor again for Wednesday and I'm about to go to my evening class. My coworker is covering my shift tonight.
F*ck, I don't want to go through this again... 
*********
***Update Jan 4:
Diagnosis remains inconclusive. He believes the tenderness stems from an infection that I've received a 20-day antibiotic treatment for. The ultrasound showed what he and another urologist believed NOT to be a tumorous mass, but can't say for certain. As such, I'm schedulled for another ultrasound in a few weeks to see if there's any change and to allow the doctor to more closely examine the testicle. He wasn't able to do that today because it hurt so damn much when bothered.***
Just got back from a 5 hour visit to the emergency room with lower abdominal/scrotum pain. The ultrasounds showed "a small mass" on my right testicle. And yes, the title of this thread is a direct quote fromt the doctor upon reviewing those ultrasounds. I won't be able to schedule an appointment with the uralogist until Tuesday morning (bad holiday timing). Urine tests came back normal, bloodwork had to be sent to the other local hospital since they get government money and have the expensive equipment for what needs to be checked in my case, so I won't know the results of those tests until later.
Wonderful.
Actually, I'm in good spirits. Really guys and dolls, I'm ok.  Right now, it's just "a mass" not a grapefruit-sized proto-Human growing out of my crotch. Still, there's no denying Apolyton is a great source of emotional support if it turns out I do have cancer of the nutsack.
And besides, it's just the one testicle. I have two of them, plus I'm gay, so it's not like I'd really* be putting either of them to reproductive use anyway.  
*One day maybe I'd like kid(s) of my own or even adopted, but not in the forseeable future.

Fret not.
I just went through a similar nut cancer scare myself.
Even if it is nut cancer, the rate of cure is very, very high. Christ, Lance Armstrong had over ten metastases to his ****ing brain.
Generally speaking, nut cancer is a pissant.

On the whole losing a testicle thing...
It reminds me of a lame old joke.
There was once a cowboy who had one testicle and was known to his displeasure as "One Stone". Women in the saloon would occasionally taunt him with the name.
So one day he stood up at the bar and announced that he would **** to death any woman who called him 'One Stone".
One of the local floozies laughed at him, and said, "Sure... right. One Stone, One Stone!"
So he took her upstairs. An hour later they dragged her exhausted and lifeless body out of his room. He returned to the bar and yelled, "Let that be a warning! I will **** to death any woman who calls me one stone!"
Another local girl laughed at him again. So he dragged her off to his room.
Hours later he's still going at it, and the woman is exhausted, but not unhappy. Frustrated, he yells at her, "Why won't you just goddamn die, you wench!!!"
Smiling, she replied, Sorry, you can't kill two birds with one stone."
BOOM BOOM!!

What a timing huh?!
Well anyway.. I repeat what others have said here, if it is testicular cancer, I assume this is very early discovery of it.. and you know it's 2004, early cancer discoveries have really high fix up rate. I mean it's really high these days. PLUS, testicular cancer is one of the 'more easier' ones anyway, so while this must be a pain in the ass right now, it's nothing very definitive.. so you should be in good care.
Worst case scenario, you have one nut removed. But that really doesn't affect your life really, except I don't know if you want to have kids, how that could work out. But there are so many other ways to have kids these days also, so even if that happens, you don't have to think about that so bad either, you can work around it anyway. And that's the worst case scenario!
So just keep on the positive man, because the bottom line is you're going to be OK, and IF this in fact even is cancer, it's been discovered very early so.. I mean thsi might be even a good thing you know. Now you can get rid of it succesfully and not have it bothering you later.
Tom Green did it, so ANYONE can do it at the end. And like said, you haven't had the test results back, so it might be even something lighter than that. I'm talking about the worst case scenario, and that doesn't seem to be too grim  It sucks for sures, but you'll be OK and it won't affect your life after possible operations. So keep on the positive.. you can beat the bastard if it is in fact the bastard. And you know I'm not giving you a pep talk to keep you on the positive, these are facts. Pure facts, not just some 'oh **** I don't want to tell him the truth!'  like in the war movies 'how bad is it don't lie!'.... so yeah, these are facts, not my imagination.
but keep us posted on the situation, the sucker is in for a fight it can't finish.. what a fool! I think it might be just a ghost...... but we will go on about this with guns blazing no matter what!

, but I was too busy shivering in nonspecific fear. I absolutely hate hospitals: Despair, disease, and death. Oh what a joy they are to visit...
