About 5 months ago my husband went to the doctor because of swelling in his right testicle. The doctor did an ultrasound and discovered a testicular mass and said he wanted to remove the entire testicle immediatley. My husband decided to see another doctor but got the same response. Since then we have been to 4 total urologists who say that everything points to testicular cancer and he needs to remove it right away. He was told to do a seman analysis and another ultrasound and did so only to find out that his other testicle is not producing any sperm and the one that has the mass is almost sterile so if they remove it he will no longer be able to have children from that point on. A fertility specialist said that there is hope in harvesting tissue from the testicle before they remove it and then they will freeze the few sperm that are found so as to atleast have a chance to have a child in the future. Problem is this is not covered by our insurance and we do not have the money for the procedure. We own a mortgage company and as you know it is terrible right now and we have had to stop doing mortgage loans almost all together. Please, if you can help out at all we would be forever grateful, truely from the bottom of our hearts. My husband has alot of pride and has never once asked anyone for a single thing ever. I am writing this in hopes that anyone can help, even a little. Thank you so much for reading this and if you are not able to help with money we appreciate your thoughts and blessings.
Here is the address if you are able to help out. Please pass this on.
