Need path & staging.: The answer to your question depends on a couple of factors. First is the final pathology after removal of the testicle. The type of tumor, whether it is benign, seminoma, non-seminoma, or some other type is very important in future management. Second is staging: ct scan of the abdomen, sometimes chest & sometimes head is done to look for spread. These two factors are needed to know your options.

Depends on Pathology: Talk to your surgeon. You will need referral to a oncologist at the earliest to address you concern after the pathology reports are available.
