At that point, he said it was “confirmed” his “insides were tearing open.”
He added, “I waited until that lump on my testes had grown to the size of the other two before getting it checked.”
The 43-year-old admitted he regrets waiting so long to go to the doctor, sharing what may have contributed to his hesitation.
“I was wondering why so many times I had been so f–king stupid,” he said. “And then it hit me this morning. Flashes from my childhood and adolescence, hearing the words, ‘Stop crying. Don’t be a baby. Don’t be a bitch. Stop being a p—y. Just be a man.’ I’m thinking that had something to do with it.”
After he was diagnosed, the Colorado-based life coach said a “flood of questions” set in.
