It seems like you guys are getting a lot of these today, but I could use a guy's input.
I post in TTGP normally, this is kind of a XP. MH found a lump on one of his testicles this weekend. He's got an appointment next week to see a his urologist, but until them he's making himself sick with worry. He's not concerned about his health(I am), he's beside himself right now worried that this will affect our TTC efforts.
I'm just wondering if there are any dad's on here that have been through this. Do you have any insight on how I can help him through this? It kills me to see him so upset & not be able to do a thing about it.
TIA

Re: another need a guy's opinion
I had some pain "down there" a few years ago. I went in for an ultrasound and found it was nothing serious. Some sort of chronic inflammation, nothing cancer-related. I had been freaking out for weeks before I went in.
