Hey everyone,

First off, I apologize for my quietness here on FA; I've been having some personal problems I've been dealing with, mental health-wise, that have kept me from being too active online. This is not what this journal is about.

I discovered there was a mass on my right testicle after a shower one day and got it checked with my general doc. He referred me to get an ultrasound, and when those results came back, I was referred to a urologist. She took a look at my scans and said that the mass is concerningly large that they have to remove it. They don't know if it's cancerous, but it has to be considered as such.

Sooooo, the surgery is on Thursday. My testicle will be removed permanently.

I'm doing my best to stay positive, but you can only be so positive when you are getting an organ removed. Still, though, I know I am a resilient Woosk, and I will be better in the end.

Thank you all for your support, especially my friends. Love you all 💙
