Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Hi everyone, I've gotten tired of the usual rejection from most of the average size men that I've met over the past 9 years. Trying to get involved with LPA and make it to my first convention in San Francisco. Anyone attending the next regional for District 13 being held in Prattville, AL? Drop me a line and let's chat. Currently living in Louisiana,48 years old,standing in at 4'4 " and a retired school teacher. It's time to do something new and get involved.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Hi Welcome to the group! I have had a CWD for 9 years ago and it was only in the beginning that they cleaned the ear out of wax and of other debris (like dead skin cells and so). I can't remember for how long and how often and in which steps the check up controls where but it was some frequent in the beginning and then later on less frequent. But if everything turns out fine then it is usually one check up every year. The only bothering thing about having your ear cleaned out it the CWD was some big is that your balance organ will be affected when due to the suction and that the room could spin around =). But beside from that it is no problem at all. My regards New Member Again > Tom, Jeff, and Candy thank you very much for your response, it was > veryhelpful.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Sorry I forgot to add to my last post that I am 37, I had 2 operations to lower both testicles and in the past 6 months I have had one testicle removed as shadows were found on an ultrasound but no cancer was present. Also I am in the UK so looking for other UK sufferers. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I had the choice of either leaving it in the hope that it didnt develop into cancer, or to remove it. I felt that the removal was the best option at the time but still wish it could have had a biopsy done. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
