It was an epidermal cyst, which is common. I'm happy and upset. Happy because I don't have cancer, and upset because my doctor didn't tell me there were other options other than surgery to remove it. I just googled this and apparently there are other ways to determine if it is a cyst without an unnecessary orchiectomy.


Great news!

I do like your wife thanking god that he cured you. ;)


Hahaha. Yes.

I have no problem with Mormon transhumanists. I am agnostic which means I don't know.
However, I do know the religious right is slowing down some progress in science. The religious right is fighting stem cell research and cutting scientific research funding to help Israel.

Of course because our world is 99% religious. But most Nobel Prize winners don't believe in a personal heavenly father.

I'm honestly glad you don't have cancer, Kevin, but I must say the following:

- Your story made everyone here nuts
- I imagine privately some got a little testy
- Some may even have gotten a bigger testy
- Hopefully nobody got so distracted at work they were sacked
- But at least this thread shows we're all nad about you

Alright, I've said my piece. The ball's in your shorts.
