Suggest Treatment For A Lump On The Testicle

I m a 56 year old male. I have a lump the size of a grain of rice on the top of my testicle next to the tube from the testicle. My GP has checked it and he thinks it s probably a cyst but he sent me for an ultrasound to make sure. I ve now got to wait 3 weeks for the ultrasound. I suffer with anxiety and I m very worried it might be cancer , despite my gp telling me not to worry. What s the likelihood it s cancer, given the lump is on the epididymus?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Given that there is a small lump on the epididymis of the size of a rice grain, there is no chance that it is a cancer.
Stop worrying.
Cancer never present like this.
Get ultrasound when you get an appointment.
Tull then do not fondle the lump just to check.
I find this answer helpful
