I remember waking up one morning in late November 2016 with a sharp pain in my groin.  No real explanation for it, but a call to the nurses hotline suggested I should go to hospital.  An hour or so later I was (very) shakily speaking to my wife to tell her that I was about to go into surgery, and that there was a chance they might remove a testicle.  And the Valium coursed through me as I spoke, and I suppose I was calm.
