Default radical orchiectomy

I'll keep this short...... about a month ago I noticed my right testicle was slightly enlarged.

I was scheduled to see our primary for my yearly check and mentioned it to him. He sent me off for an ultrasound and the report came back 4 intratestical lesions with slight inflamation the larger one calcified, MRI was suggested.

The MRI report said it was leydig cell hyperplaisia not traditional germ cell tumors. ..... cut to chase Jan 3rd it gets removed and a biopsey in the o.r. will determine if it is benign or malignent. The urology surgeon after reading my ultrasound, MRI, blood work says it is "highly unlikely" it is malignent but...blah blah blah........ gotta be removed.

So we are hopeful and pray it is not. I or Zippy will update you on my progress, hope to see some of you @ Zippy's MWG that followong saturday.

Merry Christmas

Ouch, but look at it this way, in a couple years you could win the Tour de France.
Good luck with the operation.
