My son had his 8 months check and we have been referred to Kings as the GP said he had a lump in one of his testicles. I am not panicking or googling because google can be evil sometimes but does anyone have any experience about it? I am just putting it down to fatty tissue or something.

I presume the hospital will just have a feel and do a scan?


Thanks

Having seen families bringing their little boys in with similar to paeds ED, think having a look and if needed a scan will be done - what they might do is try shining a pen torch at the lump to see if it's solid or fluid filled (alot of these turn out to be hydrocels - fluid filled harmless cysts).


Am sure your GP has advised you on signs to watch for, but if there appears to be sudden swelling/it looks red and is painful to touch then either return to GP or attend ED.

Jam - my son had a lump on his arm for some time and we also panicked but it ended up being fatty tissue (they thought!) and told us we must let it be and it should disappear .. thankfully it did just that. ps, he was in ICU so we were with the specialists and they definitely said babies are born/develop all sorts of fatty tissues amongst other things and they did also say definitely don't panick but get it looked at so you can get some sleep.

Hopefully its all ok :-)

    • There’s definitely something in what you say about upbringing, environment, and emotional health. It doesn’t excuse the behaviour, but it might help explain it. I do think low intelligence likely played a role here. People who aren’t taught to value life, whether human or natural, often end up reacting with hostility to the things they don’t understand or appreciate. It’s a sad reflection of both neglect and ignorance. Your suggestion of rehabilitation through something like woodland conservation or sapling planting is actually a lovely and meaningful idea. Let’s hope something good can come of their sentence, though I won’t be holding my breath. Looking forward to meeting you in person at the Forum drinks tonight, and fingers crossed Jasonlondon makes it too. His terrible neighbours really are quite the story.
    • Direct link to livestream of closing ceremony and joint statement:  Today, the conference comes to a close with a joint statement — a historic declaration of collective action in defence of international law and human dignity. At 10:30 Bogotá, 11:30 New York, 16:30 London, 17:30 Paris, 21:00 New Delhi, join the closing ceremony live from the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ceremony will feature Gustavo Petro, President of Colombia; Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories; Zane Dangor, Director General of South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation; Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla, Executive Secretary of The Hague Group; and Fillemon Wise Immanuel, Minister of Justice and Labour Relations of Namibia. The centrepiece of the ceremony will be the reading of the Joint Statement — the result of deliberation among participating governments. This statement will echo far beyond Bogotá. It marks a turning point in the global campaign to hold Israel accountable, protect the Palestinian people, and restore the rule of international law. Join us to witness this historic moment.

    • We had the roof on our Victorian terrace replaced in 2023 and were charged just under £12,000, which included new slates, battens, breathable membrane, leadwork, and scaffolding. The cost was mainly due to the complexity of working on an older property and ensuring everything met current building standards.
