I'm no doctor so anything about the disease comes from the net. I'm not trying to upset anybody, I am just using the information that I found out for the purpose of these chapters.
If you think you'll get upset, please don't feel like you have to read.

This picks up from the last chapter.
The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 171.
Ethan looked like he was going to faint, but luckily Cal's arms caught him and he steered the younger one in to his bedroom. Ethan took some deep breathes, and sat down on the bed.
"I found a lump "
"Where?"
"Down below "
"It's most probably benign"
"And what if it's not?" Ethan questioned, his voice was shaking. Cal put an arm around him as he replied.
"We'll get through it, I promise "
Ethan nodded and blew his nose.
Cal drove the two of them to St. James, Ethan would usually drive them, but Cal noticed that his brother's hands were shaking. Once, they arrived at the hospital, Cal booked him in and they went up to the ward where you went for cancer - check - up's.
A doctor, who had brown hair, brown eyes and wore black rimmed glasses, come out.
"Ethan Hardy?" She asked, reading the name from the file.
Ethan nodded and stood up.
"I'm doctor Rachel Wilson. And I'll be your doctor today. "
"Nice to meet you. " Ethan said. "That's my brother, Caleb "
Rachel nodded. She pulled some latex gloves from a box on her desk and put them on. She took Ethan through to a curtained area and had a look at him, Ethan went red.
"Well?" Cal asked.
"There is something there," Rachel told them, taking off her gloves.
"What happens now?" Asked Cal. He found it strange to be sitting in a doctors surgery, when they were both doctors themselves.
"I'll arrange for Ethan to have an ultrasound "
While in the ultrasound room, Ethan was given a gown to change in to.
Cal sat next to Ethan and they spoke quietly as they waited for Rachel.
Rachel come in and switched on the machine. Cal stood next to Ethan.
"Mate, calm down " Cal said, reassuringly.
"I'm scared " Ethan whispered.
Cal wallked over to him. "Ethan, it's ok"
Rachel finished up the scan and left the brothers alone. Ethan got dressed again and then the two headed to Rachel's office.
Ethan's eyes seeked his brothers for reassurance.
"Ethan. " The doctor looked up and Ethan found himself looking at Cal.
Cal gave a reassuring smile, but he was terrified about these results as well.
"I'm going to book you in for an operation to remove the testicle "
Thank you for reading. I'm aware that you probably wouldn't get results that fast, but as this is fiction, I am going to shake it up a little, while trying to potray it as accurately as I can.
I know the name of the ward that you would go to if you found a lump, I just couldn't remember it. I think I'm going to leave that chapter there for now.
