about 4 months ago i was diagnosed with testicular cancer and just had one of my little men cut off. <------- reel fucking tears
i had an ultrasound last week followed by an mri scan and just got back from the docs today and he just told me the cancer has spread to my stomach and base of my spine.
to say i am totally devastated is an understatement not for myself but for my family.
its not classed as terminal but after another operation the chances are my life wont be normal to say the least.
the problem is i noticed a lump about 3 years ago and did nothing about it. over the last 2 years on and off i had been feeling really tired and just generally had no energy. eventually i went ot the doctors and had a full medical and blood tests.
i suppose being a bloke i had the mentality of not worrying about anything till it i had to and left it way to late.

my message to all you blokes out there is check your tackle often and dont be afraid to go to the doctors. they can cure most things if they catch it soon enough. if this warning helps just one person then that will make me feel better.
