Testicular Cancer Scar

This is my scar from my testicular cancer. The photo is cropped, but I was covering my junk with my hand when I took the photo, so that should give you an idea of where it's at. If there is a tumor, they don't want to risk breaking it up in the body, so they cut you above the penis, clamp off the blood supply to the testicle, then pull it up through the abdomen to take a look at it. If it is a tumor, it's white and flaky — my doctor told me that it looks like fish meat. Ew.
