Talwyn is an alais I used long ago when I discussed this in private. It has a
Celtic meaning one who fights. Anyhow I have no problem discussing this openly
with my real name.
The pressure I felt was the beginning of a lump forming in my lymph node. It
could have been prostate it could have been many thing. The lump was very
small but enough to put pressure on the underlying nerves to make it's presence
known. I also had a lump grow in the scrotum (aka nutsack) that was attached
to the epididymus (the spongy tube that the sperm swim from the testicle out of
the penis). THey had to go in removed the epidydmus and a part of the
testicle. Their theory was if they left the undamaged testicle part in it
would continue to make testosterone. It did for a time then it turned into a
hard lump and required another surgery to take it out.
All I can say is if you can't get in at a urologist try another one. Most
cities have more than one and often one can get you in quicker than others.
There are other things that can make you feel pressure down there. I felt
pressure like there was something in my thigh that shouldn't be there. I've
also had prostititus (a prostate infection) where I felt backpressure when I
urinated that was not fun as it took MONTHS of antibiotics to clear that one
up.
I caution everyone to check themselves out weekly... if you have a lady (or
other partner) have them go through your junk once a week. Believe me they
will find something out of the ordinary quicker than you will. At least that
way is fun too. Belynda found my second cancer and by finding it early you will
get over it early.
All I can say is Cancer Sucks!
