First day back to college, first time seeing all my mates there for 6 weeks (apart from a few phone calls/MSN chats) After a short talk from our tutor, we were allowed out to the garden (the two halves of the campus are basically big squares, with gardens in the middle, two gardens in each half) where we talk/smoke on our breaks.

Gave my mate Mick my MP3 player, as I had put the theme from Masters of the Universe on it for him, since he loves that film. Said it was just what he needed to cheer him up, so I asked him what he meant. Talked a bit, told me he has testicular cancer, and had only found out about a month or so earlier.

His mate had been messing on over the holiday and hit him in the balls. Says it hurt more than usual (which must be quite a lot then) and it was still hurting for weeks after, so he had it checked out. After some checks/scans, they told him he had cancer. That must've sucked.

Tomorrow he's off to get one lopped off. Yes, one of his balls is going. He's more worried about not waking up from the anesthetic than the fact he has cancer, and has taken it really well (which isn't a surprise, knowing him) We joked about him dying and leaving me all his stuff, which was better than talking about death seriously, something I don't think either of us wanted to do.

His mobile doesn't work right now, I don't know his home number (he's moved about a lot) and he'll be in hospital over night, so I won't hear how it went for a few days (he lives down in Sunderland, can't exactly drop by, I don't even know where he lives in the city) and he doesn't know how long it'll be until he's back. Hope he's OK.

My mate The Wal had an op on HIS balls the other day, to remove a cyst. Nothing dangerous, but he too was worried about not waking up after it.

And to make things worse? I think I found "something" down below the other week, and I had a dull ache in my balls for a few minutes today, exactly where I found whatever the hell it is. Gonna wait a bit, then most likely get it checked out.

I tell ya, we're cursed down below.

Once a month you should, as instructed by those people during sex education.

Im so sorry.

It must be so hard to deal with. he fact it is very risky I know it is horrible but its good he is getting it sorted out instead of putting it off and it being too far gone. I cant begin to imagine what its like, good he seems to be taking it well.

It must be hard to know he is going to loose part of a mans sacrid area. I wouldn't know how i'd feel if I had to loose a breast.

i hope things go ok and please keep us posted when you find out

p.s, Do go check yourself out - better to be safe than sorry

My Uncle had testicular cancer, I think. And he ended up being killed by a drunk driver.

Sorry to hear mate.

Hope he pulls through everything (which is likely, going by what you've been saying about him)

Damn, man.

Well I don't.

Just kidding. That must suck balls. I mean, it's the rest of your life that's going to be affected by it. I'd hate to have to live like that, I mean, he can't really have children of his own now, and cancer isn't exactly the best thing to go through, especially at such an early poinin his life. And I hope you don't have cancer either, just, because, it's gay. Honest.

Wish him well.
Don't tell him from me, he'll just think you're odd.
But yes, that must suck.

Not likely. Anyway, I told him to ring me as soon as he can. Bet he forgets...
