Thanks again for all the wonderful replies. As it turns out as I was just reading my thread that I haven't been on for a week or so, I got a phone call from my Uroligists nurse. She has set up an appt. for me to sign the necessary paper work to release liability and to go forward with a full castration.
A little background over the last week. I, several months ago injected 2.5ml over a three week period of Everclear into my left teste. It has been bothering me ever since with minor pain and discomfort. I also injected the right at the same first session with about .5ml of everclear.
I saw my GP doc on tue. for a follow up of an infection I had a while ago and discussed my testicular discomfort with him. He ordered a Testosterone panel, and an ultrasound on both testes that afternoon. The ultrasound has shown that my left teste is for sure much smaller than my right and that both of them have cancerous looking tissue inside. So he sent me back to my urologist who I had seen once before for my sub-incision procedure earlier in the year.
He looked at the scans and is worried about the cancerous looking tissue especially in the left, but noticed it in the right as well. He wants me to wait for three weeks and get another Ultrasound to verify that the cancerous tissue is there(and not a false scan) and we would procede with removal of at least the left and wait and see how the right does.
After discussing with my wife last night and knowing my family history(father died of multiple cancers, one of which was testicular, but also lung, brain, liver, and prostate; and my grandfather also had testicular cancer) we have decided together as a couple that we are ok with the one child we have together(4 year old girl) that I would go ahead and ask the doctor to remove both at the same time and then begin a testosterone regimen to keep balance in my life. I know my testosterone levels have always been very high(I was shaving my face at 12 years old and I have a very short temper and fuse). So it will be nice to be able to control my T levels my self and not letting my testes over produce.
So my doctors nurse just called and setup my first appt to schedule everything on next Monday at 3:45 in the afternoon. From there it will be a day or so before the surgery is done at the local hospital.
I can't believe this is really happening and I don't have to do any injections or search for a cutter. I was just straight up with my doctors and now its happening.
I will keep you all posted on what happens next week and from there on out.
Again thanks for all your kind words and hope and we will talk to you soon!
Thanks
