I remember a nervous looking young man in outpatients at Christies. I was on about my seventh year check up.It was obvious it was his first visit. As you do in there I asked him where his was, he pointed to his groin. I said oh you have only one ball, you are the odd one out with two in here. It is seven years since I was treated. He burst out laughing with the rest of his familly. In fact until I stopped going for check ups after twenty plus years I never saw a miserable face there.

My Uncle Roy was only 30 years old when he died with testicular cancer. That was in the early 1970's. Since then greater advances have been made with treatment. My Uncle Roy left two small children under five years of age.
Thank God that more treatment is now available.

I was especially fortunate as testicular cancer is termed , "A young Man's Cancer", and I was forty when I had it. If I had it at the usual age my chances of survival would have been very small. There sre two types, a teretoma or a semi noma, I had a semi noma that don't usually spread,needless to say, mine did.
