So you lost a ball? Can they not just put in like a marble in your sack just so it looks like 2? Im actually being serious,i can imagine if this happened to me it would be a big confidence dent looking down at one ball.

You got me. He's done more with one ball than I ever will, and I hate him for it.

I guess the fact that I went thru everything I went thru shows I didn't want to die, but I don't recall ever being actually worried I was going to. I do remember thinking constantly during chemo about how bad it would have to get for me to kill myself, at what point it wouldn't be worth it to be keep going thru it.

I get tilted like anyone else.

Bad karma? They don't really know, it's pretty random. They say if you have an undescended testicle or if you ever got a case of the mumps on your balls you might be more likely to get it, but neither of those applied to me.

Thank you for your honest answer. It's actually very common (mostly with guys) for people to avoid help because they dont want the bad news. I dont think that I would ever do that, but so many of my patients do the same thing. It's amazing how much catastrophy could be avoided it they went it earlier.

Again, it's good to know your outcome was ok.
thank you. As bad as it was and as much as I wish I would have done something earlier, it has actually had mostly good consequences.

I don't know. I've never looked into it but I imagine there probably is something they could do, I just don't really care.

Did your teratomas have eyes, hairs or teeth? "Teratoma" is the grossest google image search I ever did.

nice

Testicular implants are available in up to 5 sizes.

Testicular implants with smooth surface are available in two different types, which are both suitable for an attachment to the tissue.

The silicone-gel filled implants are fitted with a short piece of removable teflon to guide the needle and therefore to prevent a puncture of the implant.

The highly polymerized testicular implants have a reinforced cap that allows the attachment of the implant with a suture through the cap.
Information on Materials

The shell, which contains a barrier layer, is filled with either a highly cross-linked silicone gel or a highly polymerised silicone. Both types of testicular implants have a smooth surface.

Did you notice any daredevil like side effects? Like he lost his vision, but everything else got really enhanced. Did your anus become stronger, or anything like that?

not big, maybe around the size of a bb. I didn't notice it getting any bigger.

Went to doctor finally for three reasons: because I started having severe back pain, because one night I took a bong hit and it felt like one my lungs collapsed which really freaked me out, and because there was a fairly large protrusion in my abdomen which turned out to be part of the tumor.
