Who cares if your Mom thinks you were touching your testicals!! Stop worrying about the silly little things and get to the doctor right away....you don't want to wait and play around with this. My brother had it and found it soon enough.  Something his doctor told him was that if the lumps hurt when you touch them ....it could just be an infection but if the lumps don't hurt they tend to think it could be cancer.  Regardless, get it checked asap. Good luck.

i wish there was.you have no idea on how i wish this was true.  my dad whom i  love very dearly told me that he has prostrate cancer back in September. he told me that he was going to the "mayo" clinic. an extremely prestigious hospital for this treatment. with an above average sucesss rate. so i was very content with that. but as my mom and dad  go to Melbourne Florida every year to there winter retreat. he still hadn't gone to the mayo before they left. i questioned my dad why and he stated that he is going to seek full treatment in Florida with a doctor he knows and trust. well its late November and he hasn't gone for treatment of any kind. Ive called on a daily bases and spoken to him about it and questioned what he is doing to resolve the issue. his response is " i haven't got the time to take care of it yet" i questioned of "yet" to him. he explains of how he has to do this and that(things of no meaning). he is a vein man i know. and that is his issue. he is 75 years of age. Ive always known that your parents will die. but Ive never felt it like i feel it now.but the kicker is , i finally got to speak to my mom without him there. he doesnt have prostrate cancer. he has lung cancer. he quit smoking at the age of 33. but he worked his entire life as a journeymen electrictian. who knows what he was exposed to over all those years. so in answer to your question, i really wish there was. id read it to eternity. the bible as you so hiddenly speak doesn't tell you how to deal with this. if it does and you really see that it applies. then e-mail me about how i should read scriptrure...chapter... verse.... does it really apply? ask this of yourself before you offer advise.

i think you should still talk to your mom. i mean, she's the one who bore you when you were a baby and i think it'd be the best if you talked to her instead of anybody else. and you're going to have to tell her eventually, because you can't live for, like, five more years without her finding out.\n\nbut if you're really reluctant..\n\ntalk to your friends, the school nurse, or any other female you can trust.

what ever dude wait till your 40 and need the colon examined. its a quick cup and you cough. the doctors has seen hundreds and will see hundreds more so it will only be embarrassing to you. you might want to tell your doc to give you a testicular cancer check as well thats a little more involved but you need to do it for your own health if you are between 16-25 years old.

There are various ways that you can choose from with this situation. My mother recently died from complications with breast cancer. I found that the best way for myself to deal with it so too be as up beat, positive, and joking as you can. Everybody is or is going to be highly stressed, depressed, and generally unhappy. If you can find any reasons to make your Grandfather, your parents, yourself, the doctors and nurses laugh, everything goes a lot smoother and happier. This creates much more happy memories that both your grandfather and yourself can pull on in the future. Be as happy as you can. Thats what got me through my mothers breast cancer. I will always remember laughing with my mom, even when she was loosing her hair, weight, and her general health. She went very happy in the end. Make your Grandfather happy and you yourself will be happy.\n\nI have a site here that takes you to the National Cancer Institute and they have all sorts of links that can and will help you out. I hope this helps.

My mom has been recently diagnosed and had surgery to remove her female organs. They found cervical and ovarian tumors. She begins chemo a week from Monday. She is 62. At the moment she is just as perky as ever, even considering surgery. She was painting and hanging fans just two days ago. LOL. I can tell you that if she goes down, she will go down swinging. :0) That is just my mom's way.

My wife had one 3 years ago and doctors left it.  It turned out to be cancer and she is still fighting it. DO NOT HESITATE GETTING TREATMENT BECAUSE IT MAY COST YOUR LIFE AND YOUR KIDS WONT HAVE A MUM

If you haven't had one already, ask about a PET scan. It's sorta like a CAT scan, but it's used to detect any cancer in the body. When my husband had cancer, it's what they used to see where it was, and then they used it once more after his treatment was finished to see if all of it was gone.  Also, ask about maybe getting put on a steroid. My grandfather-in-law, has some health issues, but he had gotten to where he would eat maybe once a day, if that. They put him on some sort of steroid(not sure of it's name)and now he eats like a pig.(good thing) \n  I would also consider going to a different doctor and letting them give you the once-over as well. Having a fresh set of eyes and a  mind on the case may help. I wish you the best, hope you get everything figured out and get to feeling better!

make sure she is as comfortable as possible. i know its hard but you have to. be her support system. if she needs to cry be her shoulder if she needs to yell just listen and dont yell back. most of the time they are not angry with you.make sure she gets the treatments she needs and the meds she needs. if you miss an appointment reschedule as soon as possible. some people with cancer handle the problem differently she may laugh it off but remember thats her way of dealing with it. dont get angry and say things you dont mean. you are a good person for staying by her side. make the time you have with her as good as possible. play cards read books schedule movie nights. i will pray for you and your mother. i am so sorry this is happening to your family.

Calm down, sweetie.  Your mom is probably concerned b/c of your irregular periods and abdominal pain.  This could mean cysts or endometriosis. Which is treatable.  It is good to go to the gyno b/c they can answer questions and help you with your problem.  A gynocologist is a professional-that person is not there to hurt you!!  She is there to help you and answer ques.  She will talk to you, give you a breast exam (and show you how to give y/self a breast exam), she will lubricate her fingers and feel of your ovaries to make sure there are no cysts.  She will put a speculum into your vagina( it is metal and sorta cold).  This will take samples of your bacteria to make sure that there is nothing to worry about.  Your mother does not have to be in there and the gyno will be the only that can view your genitals.  Which they see everyday.  This will allow you to overcome some of your anxiety so that when you get older you will not be so overwhelmed.  Your mother may want to know if you are sexually active and the doc cannot say anything to your mother.  Talk with your mother and ask her the reason why she wants you to go.  And tell her that you will go only if she is not in the room (or whatever you prefer).  Try to ease her worries by telling her that you are not being sexually active.  good luck.

Sweetheart, you are really going to need to tell your mom. What is happening to you is not normal and your mom needs to make a doctors appointment......

Bless your heart, my friend, I don't know why your mother got cancer.  I didn't know her.  Maybe it was her lifestyle, maybe it was exposure to a carcinogen, maybe it was just rotten luck and unfortunate genes.   I am truly sorry it happened.  We can't cure cancer yet but if it's caught in time we can kill it or remove it.   I'm a nurse and I've dedicated my life to dealing with disease, the living and the dying.  Perhaps you'll want to dedicate your life to finding a real cure for cancer.  That would be worthwhile.

I have a co-worker that was diagnosed with a severe form of\ncervical cancer even younger than your mom.  She's fine, and\ncan even still have children.\n\nIf you're scared about what this means for your mom (or \nfor yourself) PLEASE talk to your mom's doc, or better \nyet, talk to your mom's doc's nurse.  Cervical cancer is \nNOT necessarily fatal, and in most cases, isn't hereditary.\n\nIf there is an older family member (an aunt, maybe?) you\nare comfortable with discussing this with, I'd recommend it.\nBut yes, your wanting more information, and maybe even being\nscared about your mom's diagnosis is TOTALLY NORMAL.\nDon't let people blow you off when you want information.
