<human>: I had a lump one of my balls so I went to the doctor. He referred me to an ultrasound which found nothing. His response was literally "the ultrasound is just for shits and giggles. Your blood tests show a high level for alpha-fetoprotein which means you are at a high risk for testicular cancer." 

He said the only option was to immediately schedule a biopsy where he would make an incision into my testicles. In this procedure, they would cut my ball sac open, take a sample of the inflammation and somehow send it to another lab where they would test it, all while my ball sac is wide open and I am asleep. If the cyst was found to be cancerous, I would wake up with one ball. But even if it wasn't, I would have been unable to lift anything "heavier than a gallon of milk" for 3 months or the stitches on my ballsac would break and cause a severe injury. So to summarize, an operation where I am put to sleep not knowing whether I will wake up with one or two testicles.

I was skeptical, so I said lets do another ultrasound. The results showed that my lump is outside the testicle, but the urologist STILL wanted to give me a biopsy. I jumped ship at this point, went to another doctor where I took another blood test that came out normal. His advice was to simply wait and see if the growth got worse. 3 months later, I had another ultrasound and a follow up with a 3rd doctor, and the same results were found with the cyst not growing in size at all. I still have to keep an eye on it, but its probably nothing.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: if I had listened to my first doctor I would have gotten unnecessary surgery that would have probably affected me for the rest of my life.
