An update from the Dr. . .

Some of you may have known that I've been to see a urologist after an ultrasound on an enlarged testicle. I was in today with Connie to the Dr., and I'm told the results are consistent with cancer of the testicle. I go in Mon. May 14 to remove it (testicle) - and if/when verified it's cancer, I will be sent to Hamilton to a multi-disciplinary cancer team to determine if/how much radiation or chemo would be required. Usually, testicular cancer has an excellent prognosis if caught early. Unfortunately, I went to see the family Dr. in 2004 for the identical testicle, and he didn't believe anything was wrong, and was sent home. This may (or may not) have been there for awhile. Will be waiting for results of testing after surgery.
Thanks to everybody for the encouraging words, and the prayers. It is so appreciated!
