Hi, my son was diagnosed with TC in august 02, when he
finally had the nerve to tell me something was wrong,
his testicle was the size of an egg and he was swollen
to the point he could hardly walk. Other then being
swollen he did have some lower back pain but i have
never heard him say it felt cold heavy yes but not
cold and was really not in any pain only discomfort
due the size...
I have never heard of either things you have wrote
about... If this is something that could be TC please
do not waste anytime see a specialist...
cat scans and blood work is the only way he can be
diagnosed... We were patients of Hershey Medical
center in PA wonderful Dr's and specialist...
I pray all works out for you and your son...
My son has been cancer free since Jan, 03 this would
not be if it were'nt for the excellent care he
received...Take of your son...God Bless
