Lumps in odd places. Could be a title to a song, or even a name of a band. In my case, it's a lump where it shouldn't be, or at least I assume it shouldn't be there. I first noticed it a few weeks/months ago when it felt like I had caught my tender bits on something, and after wondering if they were swollen came across an odd shaped lump. After a few days it seemed to subside, the pain stopped and although I pondered a call to the surgery I didn't think any more of it. ...until last Thursday when the 'kicked in the balls' pain returned and a quick feel revealed the lump was once again back where it was, possible bigger this time. Anyway, I took myself off to the GP after filling in some sort of on-line triage questionnaire which obviously triggered a response and they got me in the next day. The very pleasant GP had a feel and had as much idea as me so has put me forward for a scan to see what it is - possibly some sort of cyst. She mentioned there is a possibility it might be cancer, 'so we have to rule that out'. ..so that was yesterday and hopefully the much publicized waiting lists don't slow things down too much.
In the meantime, I'm as 'normal' as I ever have been with no obvious signs of anything wrong apart from the above which I hope is a good sign.
