A Ballsy Sense of Tumor

I think I was lucky in that my personality and sense of humour helped get me through my testicular cancer experience with no mental health issues Wouldn’t it be good if the manliest man in Britain could be a testicular cancer survivor? In no way do I take the title of Britain’s Manliest Man seriously, however some people seem to think I have done it for personal gain or to become a ‘celebrity’.I do challenges to emphasize what is achievable after cancer which include: one half marathon, three 100-mile bike rides (sometimes sporting the amazing naked cycle suits from the Male Cancer Awareness Campaign ), climbed Mt Kilimanjaro, and obstacle course racing and martial arts training in both Japan and Thailand. I still do talks whenever I can, brief all RAF graduating officers, and am reaching out to professional sports teams as through them I can reach many more people to share the importance of testicular cancer awareness.

It’s always a guaranteed second date with a testicular self-exam 6.

I know that cancer is not always the easiest thing to talk about for men, especially testicular cancer. I know that cancer is not always the easiest thing to talk about for men, especially testicular cancer. It’s testicular cancer! In essence, it’s as if I felt that cancer and chemo hadn’t beaten me up enough.

It’s amazing how one day can completely change your life Even though I didn’t know about her past with testicular cancer If my girlfriend didn’t push me to go to the hospital, the cancer could have spread by the time I caught it. The urologist explained what would likely come next: I would need blood work, a CT scan to see if the likely cancer spread and I had to make a decision if I wanted treatment in Mexico or the United States. The days I waited for the results of my blood work and CT scan to see if cancer spread to other parts of my body was the most agonizing of my life.
