That is great news. Now a time table for his return must be scheduled. I hope one week or so

Having gone through this myself, most of the time, they will remove the testicle and then do a biopsy. It depends on the size and the amount of solid vs. liquid in the mass. If this happened, Nene will not be back in a few weeks as suggested. I barely was able to sit comfortably for 2 months. If it is indeed malignant, best case would be mid to late next year if all went well.
Most of these masses are a combination of solid and liquid in the mass. Convential wisdom is to remove the testicle rather than the tumor to prevent leakage and potentially the spread on cancerous cells....
Unless it was extremely small, I doubt he will be back soon..

Well, first let's be happy that he's going to be healthy.
Then we can think about how long it might be. I mean, this is the man's life we're talking about.
And perhaps the doctors did find something really small - we'll have to wait to hear what they say. It sounds painful....but at least he's safe.

Great news.
And from what I read, the tumor was caught extremely early and was indeed, extremely small. Speculation initially was that he could be back in a matter of weeks, so here's hoping to a quick and full recovery.

I had 2 very small tumors. They decied to remove the testicle due to the fluid content vs mass. Low ratio.. Good to have fluid, bad to have mass. So size is only one factor. If indeed he lost more than a tumor, he will be off for some time.
