Well, I had my doctor's appointment this last Friday. I had one before then, late last week, but that was at an urgent care center, who told me to go see my regular doctor.

Which, of course, I did.

It turns out it is probably a cyst, after all. After doing some imaging, my doctor said it was most likely an infection that got lodged in my left Vas Deferens. This is a duct that leads up from the testes to the prostate.

My doctor scheduled me for surgery early next week. I am supposed to hear from the surgeons to schedule an appointment, whereupon they will explore the problem physically and clean it out. Or cut it out, if necessary. My doctor says it appears to be only a minor problem which can be solved with a quick time under the scalpel. Here's definitely hoping!

So yeah, from the way it seems, not the big "C" word, after all.

Which is definitely a "Yay!" moment, if there ever was one!
