So you think you have cancer, but its your dads birthday and
the entire weekend is a birthday celebration what do you do?
So for about two weeks before I went home for Easter I and
my amazing girlfriend promise that won’t be in every post J
noticed that my right
testicle was feeling strangely hard. Now I don’t know why this happens and it
might just be a me thing, but when
something like that happens I automatically in my head go to worst case
scenario. Which I guess considering what the diagnoisis has turned out to be I
think kind of helped me to deal with hearing the news. However it did mean my
long suffering girlfriend had to deal with me constantly talking about my
mortality yes not fun at all. Never said I was easy to life with. Unfortunately
despite looking to get an appointment, I had the miss fortune of at this point
only having an enlarged testicle when getting an appointment before I went home
March19th pretty difficult. There were also a couple of other issues I had to
think about for when I got home.
My dads birthday was the 24th of March and for it
my aunt and uncle where coming from Scotland and Ireland to celebrate. There
was also a birthday meal booked so a lot on. So despite thinking with my enlarged testicle, I had cancer and had
that thought in the back of my mine for the last couple of weeks I decided to mention it to my mum but to not
mention it to him or the family as I didn’t want to jump the gun. Especially as
I was still really hoping it was something else.
So having failed to get a doctor’s appointment sorted at
whilst I was still in Belfast, I thankfully managed to get one sorted on the 29th
of April. Which will be the focused of my next post.
