During exam with my oldest son, MD thought she found something in testicular exam. I would like to think that perhaps if this was noticed earlier in his life and addressed, he would still be around?ĭon't always count on the patient to bring up problems to you, many individuals notice something wrong and live in a fear-like state and ignore it. Rumor was a teste never “dropped” and was never brought up in any of his physicals. He was dead two to three years after high school graduation from testicular cancer. I went to high school (years ago now ?) with a kid who was active in sports and pretty healthy.
Not a FNP, but I would think you should be doing thorough and complete exams.
