Just sit them down and talk to them. I think it's more about telling them you're worried about it rather than thinking you have it. They'll give you any support you need. Definitely go to the doctors. |

Just tell them straight out. Don't hide anything. Get this checked out as soon as possible. If it is cancer, you have a much better chance the earlier it is dealt with. |

Your health should come first over your nervousness.
Just tell your parents that you have a bump and you need to get it checked out now. If it is cancer, God forbid, it's nothing to play around with. Don't wait until tomorrow, tell them now. Do what's best for you.
Good luck! I wish the best for you! |

hi
i just think you need to come straight out with the fact that you have found a lump and need to get it checked out, your parents will be really good with you and please don't worry about hospitals,needles,surgery etc I'm 46 have 3 grown up children and I'm terrified of those things but sometimes we have to be strong and face things we don't like, when you do go the Dr's tell them your frightened of these things, i find if i tell them they are very understanding which makes things easier for me, please tell your parents as i would like to think my boys would tell me. |

I think your over reacting a bit. i had a lump on my testical and i went to the docs and they sent me for a scan and turned out to be nothing. i still have it to this day.
Dont be scared and go and get it checked out. the doctors see this kind of thing all the time and you wont be the first and certainly not the last.
Goodluck |

This could be and is most likely to be a harmless cyst! BUT you simply must tell your parents as they would want to know and be able to help you. I have sons aged 14 and `8 and I'd be devastated if they didn't seek my help if they had found a lump.
Please if you cannot face telling them face to face then write them a note NOW and give it to them then go to your room.
Seeing your GP is no real problem as they have seen many various body parts in their time including scrotum's.
I know it is embarrassing for you but seeing your GP could save your life. MY Mother had a friend that lost her son to testicular cancer aged 15. It's rare but it can happen so please get this sorted NOW |

go to the GP ur registered with at uni, u may hopefully find that it is nothing to worry about. if it is then u should start by telling yr parents u r worried something is wrong with u and that u have visited yr doc at uni, im a parent myself and i would hate to think that my children couldnt tell me or were worried about being ill. pls get it checked out asap and hopefully its nothing to worry about. good luck. |

You definitely have to get it checked by a doctor, don't think for a minute you have cancer, stay positive. I know you went to the doctor when you were a little kid, it's not all that bad, what is bad is if you ignore this and it turns into something ugly later, so grit your teeth, get up your courage and tell someone and go to the doctor as soon as possible and get it taken care of, you have a long healthy life ahead of you. Good luck!! |

Just do it - awkward or whatever. I know it's hard. But you HAVE to. You don't have to tell them you think you have cancer but that you have a lump that you really need to have checked out (I assume you're still on their insurance).
Taking the plunge is the worst part. Once you've jumped off the bridge, the rest will happen and you'll deal with it because it's there in front of you. Don't anticipate the rest. I'm telling you this as a cancer survivor. I waited 6 months after I found a lump because I was afraid of what "might be" and I have a needle phobia. That was a very bad choice because it spread dangerously in those 6 months. Hopefully we caught it at the brink of disaster.
Worst case scenario - you find out you have cancer and it doesn't get worse before you have it treated. Testicular cancer is very survivable when caught early. Best case scenario - you get the worry off your mind by finding out its a swollen lymph node or something. |

yes, you should go to the doctor, but no need to panic just yet as it might be nothing. even if it is something, it can be treated if caught early enough.
as soon as you get up in the morning, go straight to your parents and tell them. dont wait, dont hesitate. they will worry about you, but they will be able to offer you the emotional support you need. dont keep this to yourself. |

You have got to find out, you have got to go to the doctor! Its probably nothing, but at the same time it is not worth the risk. Do not ignore it, because it wont go away. Ring a friend and ask them to go with you, least that way you will have someone to make you go along. Your health really isnt worth the dislike you feel for doctors. |

You are considered an adult and do not need to tell your parents anything unless you want to. Make an appointment to see a doctor as soon as possible. Any type of unexplained lump should be examined by a doctor as soon as discovered. I am afraid I know a young man who waited too long . . he passed away about six months ago. His testicular cancer spred into the abdominal cavity and caused intestinal blockage. There was nothing that anyone could do to stop the disease progression and he died. The key to stopping cancer is to find it when it is small enough to remove. Do not wait any longer. This could be your life. |

At 19 years old you dont have to tell them anything. i would go to the doctor and get it checked out, the chances are it is not cancer, BUT YOU DONT KNOW TILL YOU GET IT CHECKED. Then tell your parents if you have something to tell them, if you are okay there is no need to worry them. Good luck I wish you well. |

you should just be honest and upfront with them. they are your parents and they care about you. if anything they want you to be healthy. it might be scary and it might make them upset but they love you and they will help you with anything you need. just be open with them. hope it helps. |

Go an see the doctor first. It may be benign. What you think is not important. Let the experts decide then it is easier to tell your parents. |

first of all face live as it is. my advice is go to see the doctors to find out facts ! don't frighten your parents just yet ! never mind knifes, operations, etc. be a man for once and see a doctor ! are you scared of showing '' your pride '' they are doctors my friend and probably seen more ***** etc then you have seen carrots. |

Firstly I do hope that you do not have cancer.
Secondly, you should see a doctor asap - you could be worrying about nothing but, if you don't get yourself checked out and it is cancer then you are making things worse for yourself. Early detection of cancer is best because it has not got time to spread etc.
I would make an appointment to see your Doctor, find out what the lump actually is and, when you have the results tell your parents - even if it is just to say that you are OK Even if you get a close friend to go to the doctors with you.
OR Tell your Father that you are a little bit concerned and ask him what you should do. I know he will tell you to see a doctor but he may also suggest he goes with you to give you support.
A friend of mine had a lump and thought it was cancer, I went to the doctor with her and it turned out to be an unusual boil. She was like you, worried sick she had cancer and did not know how to tell her parents - there was no need - she was fine!!
Just as I am sure you will be.
Good luck and God Speed. |

Tell your dad first. Chances are that it's not cancer, there are sometimes bumps. Moms tend to freak out over everything. But, at least tell someone. |

Just tell them you have a lump and you would like to have it checked out. |
