Re: Growing Old A Special Thank You

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.

Re: Growing Old A Special Thank You

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.
