Liam O'Rourke Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 @Hannibal Scorch Mate, I'm really terribly sorry to hear that, every bit as much for your Aunt as yourself. That is genuinely my worst nightmare, spouse and sibling, so I can't imagine how that hard that is, and I would never wish to. I know it means little in the grand scheme, but my deepest sympathies to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members waters44 Posted July 15, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted July 15, 2020 On a zoom call today with another department we are going to be working with next week, about five people from each department so ten of us in total getting to know each other.  We all have to give a brief introduction and then my manager thought it would be a good idea to say what makes us happy. So it goes round the room, someone mentions family, another one said walks, another golf etc etc until we get to one guy who says “the thought of the Tenerife volcano erupting”. I honestly have no idea why that tickled me so much but I couldn’t stop laughing, lockdown delirium is truly kicking in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted July 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2020 Found a lump on/around my good pals the other day and now have a doctors appointment next week. It's probably nothing but with my anxiety issues I can't help beat myself up. I'm honestly just so everywhere right now and people are concerned this is how I'm dealing with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Tommy! Posted July 17, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2020 I hope everything is OK ShyDad A lad at school had similar and it promoted them to give us pairs of fake testicles in the common room to learn what to check for. From what I recall they were mostly used to zip into peoples trousers so they hung out the front or sneakily rest on peoples heads when they were sat down, which while hilarious wasn't massively educational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't think I'd know if I had a lump on my balls, unless it was really obvious, like comically large. Hope all goes well Shy Dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the all clear immediately whilst they were doing the scan. It's scary but I'm sure it'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members waters44 Posted July 17, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2020 Everyone thinks the C word when you find a lump down there and i'm sure that's what you're thinking Shy Day. I was diagnosed with testicular cancer back in 2013 so if you do get some news you're not expecting I am more than happy to talk you through some things to expect, advice etc etc HOWEVER THE LIKELIHOOD ITS ANYTHING SINISTER IS RARE. Only 2,000 odd cases between 2015-2017 according to the cancer research website, with a very high survival rate. Try not to worry about it and my PMs are always open if you want a chat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted July 17, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2020 Thanks all. As many have said it's probably less than nothing, it's just while the whole lockdown is going on and my anxiety is at a whole new level it wasn't the best thing to find. It's probably all normal and this is my brain just telling me to worry about something else for a while. I'm gonna try and get some extra rest over the weekend, see if resetting my sleep pattern will keep me calmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Blog Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I found a lump on one my bollocks once and went to get it checked, turned out it was my spermatic chord which attaches to the testicles and can feel like a lump. Hope it all goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 That’s a coincidence, I’ve got a scan on Monday. One of my balls is twice the size but they’re sure it’s a hydrocene and not anything untoward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members FLips Posted July 20, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted July 20, 2020 I lived one stop away from there for 5 years and never used it once. It's in the arse end of nowhere because all the surrounding factories are shut down. You can get off and walk 20 minutes to Asda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
