I found a lump on my right testiclé

He reveals a right-testicular lump discovered years ago, never medically examined because of embarrassment, examination fears, and possible cancer. Because it remains painless and unchanged, he reassures himself; infertility seems acceptable, but possible death would force examination. He lacks Japanese insurance, fears hospital bills and injury, asks foreigners about coverage, then cooks three pork sausages.

Privacy and cost concerns again outweigh healthcare action, followed by retreat into mundane domestic activity.
