Just thought I'd add a note to say Slim is not the only one — I also had "testiculatory tenderness", to borrow Dai's phrease, while on Velcade. Very painful indeed, and went on for a few weeks towards the end of my VCD.
I think it must be quite rare though, because the experienced team of nurses at our chemo clinic had never come across it before (as a side-effect of Velcade, that is). Or maybe it's more common, but most men don't mention it…
