Winslow sent to hospital

[The Oi]

I lost a nut to cancer.

ics:

A picture of my nutsack wouldn't reveal anything as I had a prosthetic added. Only thing that even shows I had it done is a scar just below my waistline.

And before you ask, yes I did try to get it from them and keep it in a jar, but I wasn't allowed. Apparently it has to get sent to some center for research or something.

If you don't mind me asking, how was it discovered? A routine physical or something you hadnoticed yourself? I have to admit that I am overly paranoid of this happening to me. I always think I feel something but then the doctor never says anything during the exam. Kind of a strange phobia.

To be quite honest with you, it had sorta been a phobia for me too? Let me explain. Back in the day when Tom Green had his whole episode devoted to his testicular cancer, I started looking up on it cuz I had always thought that perhaps I had some weird sensations. Of course thanks to TV, I overestimate what it is blah blah, and it's nothing. I'm like 14-15 at the time.

Fast forward to a little over 2 years ago. Actually was getting some action, and felt a really uncomfortable sensation. Being the tough guy that I am, I ignore and finish off my lady friend. Next day I'm in the shower scrubbing, and I remember Tom Green's little song about "please your balls, tease your balls, so you won't get cancer."

And since I had went super insane on looking stuff up back then, I knew all about performing a self examination. Felt a pea sized lump towards the top of the right testicle, but not quite all the way at the top, as I could feel the difference between it, and where the vas deferens (sp?) connected. I kinda squeezed the testicle and it did sorta feel harder than the other one.

So I go to the docs, yadda yadda. A few blood tests later, they're pretty sure it's cancer. One thing about testicular cancer is the only way to know for certain is a biopsy, and thus requires removal. The blood tests they run aren't 100% accurate, but it was basically a 90% chance according to my doc. Had it removed, and they took some lymph nodes too as a precautionary measure. It hadn't spread to the other testicle, or anywhere else. Haven't had any sort of reoccurence yet, and my last visit was just 2 weeks ago. So huzzah, my tale of kicking cancer's ass.

Congrats for beating it man.

And because I'm running my mouth about kicking it's ass, with the way my luck goes, should only be a matter of time till they tell me I had a relapse. lol

Between you and cancer - I think karma is on your side. (Both the RCF member and the ideology).

(How a discussion on K2 came to this I dunno, but oh well).

That's RCF for ya.

That is crazy that you mention Tom Green because I would bet my life, it is that episode that started this whole phobia for me. What has really got me jumpy at points is that after "Action", I feel a bump on my right one. After awhile I noticed that it only happens either right after release or for about a day after. That pretty much discounts cancer and indicates that it is probably just the tubing or something. Regardless, I still am awfully paranoid about it.

Its like the Ronnie Lott finger tip story. It came down to either having season ending surgury or cuting his balls and continueing to play. Winslow is a soldier. He cut his balls off so he can play tonight. The Browns went out with momentum, marched down the field. Winslow scored the games first touchdown. At that moment, Winslow thought the sacrafice was all worth it. He might never have a son named trey (the third), but damn it, he will have his victory. But, in typical fasion, the Browns went on to loose the game 42-10....Winslow lost a little more than the game.....he lost his pride, better known as his manhood. SO everyone, raise up and toast to Winslow. The only Cleveland Browns Player that plays like he has balls, eventhough he no longer has a pair.

To the topic of the game...

We look good but...

five false starts in the first half? Five? Really??!?

Romeo...what the HELL are you guys doing in practice???

Try to explain to me why I should care? I lost a nut to cancer. Didn't ruin my life. Lance Armstrong doesn't even have nuts, and did just fine cycling.

The thing is, testicular cancer is one of the most easily treatable and least likely cancers to kill, let alone have a relapse from. If it's caught early enough, there's very little chemo or radiation even needed. If there is radiation, it's the small pellets inserted to kill the cancerous cells.

If all else fails, removal of the infected testicle before spreading to other areas usually leads to a full recovery with less than 5% chance of reoccurence. If you want to know, my surgery was done outpatient, and I was home the next day.

Quit overreacting to something we aren't even sure is the case. At least let the people who actually do know what they are talking about inform you, before you start flying off the handle with wild scenarios involving K2 laying in a hospital bed getting chemotherapy treatments for the next year.

You want a cancer to be worried about? Try pancreatic cancer with less than a 4% survival rate after 5 years.

Exactly, Sabre! Or how about metastatic melanoma... CavsPilot needs to check out that cancer then come talk to me about how serious testicular cancer is. In the grand scheme of cancers, if I HAD to be afflicted with any kind of cancer I'll take testicular over any other kind. It's the most treatable and least life threatening of any of them.

get a doctor to feel up your balls. Yeah, it sucks to have a dude feel up your balls, but you could get a lady doc, though that might be more uncomfortable.
