Hey gang,
Please can you help? Last night DH took a shower and then he came in the bedroom and broke down sobbing and in distress, he has found a lump on his scrotum! About the size of a pea...
He instantly thinks it's cancer, and although when comforting him I said most lumps usually end up as nothing, he won't get it checked out!
Obviously if it is nothing he's stressing out for nothing and seeing the doctor will put his mind and mine at rest, if and I pray it isn't something more sinister then the sooner he gets confirmation the better chance he has, but he is absolutely petrified and seems to be brushing it aside like he's terrified of having the worst confirmed.
He has always had a phobia of the doctors and hospitals and been once in the 22 years we've been together, but you all know as much as I do that any lumps need to be checked out, but I'm at a loss as to what to do
I thought of maybe trying the cruel to be kind technic, or the think of me and our daughter your being selfish technic, but I can't be nasty as he is so distressed, Please can anyone suggest how to approach this and how I can pursuede him to go see our doctor, I'm beside myself and he is deep in thought and worried though he is trying to hide it well, but I can see it in his eyes, I just don't know what to do and I'm worried sick.
