The beginning

A few weeks following my 49th birthday – around the end of September 2006, I felt a pain in my left testicle. I visited my doctor a few days after onset of the pain on September 28th and he asked me if I did any research on the internet about it. I told him I found out it could be testicular cancer but he informed me that I’m too old for that. (see statistics) He thought it might be an infection. An antibiotic was prescribed and an appointment for an ultrasound was scheduled.
