I have my hospital letter now and dates. Pre op is the 4th January and the operation to remove my left testicle is the 30th January. It will be done under a general so will be asleep which would have preferred to have been awake but never mind.

I hope for much pain reduction as have been in a lot of pain especially in the left ball since I had orchitus three years ago. Can't wait but am also nervous. Will post updates.

Very best with it!

Hope this provides an effective soloution to your pain its good that they have agreed to remove it.

Thanks guys for the encouragement. Can't wait to see what one ball looks like on its own. If pain persists in my right ball I think in the future I could persuade my consultant to remove it so would be totaly cadtrated. I am not remotely interested in becoming more female like and if I go down the road of total castration I would def want to have testosterone replacement probably injections but that's a long way off. My left testicle is by far the most damaged and painful so will see.
