One Less Ball, But Still Kicking: My Testicular Cancer Story

[Pifafa]

Hello everyone! Today, I want to share something different with you. At 32 years old, I was diagnosed with a disease that required surgery. I’ve realized how important it is, especially for men, to pay attention to their health. I was diagnosed with testicular cancer and had to have one testicle completely removed.

I’m here to alert all the men in the group: it’s crucial to perform regular self-exams on your testicles, checking for any lumps or changes. If you notice anything unusual, see a urologist immediately. Taking care of your health is essential!

Thankfully, I’m doing well and recovering after surgery. This is a reminder: don’t ignore the signs from your body. Take care!

Olá, pessoal! Hoje quero compartilhar algo diferente com vocês. Aos 32 anos, fui diagnosticado com uma doença que exigiu uma cirurgia. Descobri a importância desse cuidado, especialmente para os homens. Fui diagnosticado com câncer de testículo e precisei remover um testículo por completo.

Estou aqui para alertar todos os homens do grupo: é fundamental realizar o autoexame dos testículos regularmente, verificando se há algum caroço ou alteração. Caso note algo, procure um urologista imediatamente. Cuidar da sua saúde é essencial!

Felizmente, estou bem e me recuperando no pós cirúrgico. Fica o alerta: não ignore sinais do seu corpo. Cuidem-se!

All the best! Thank you for sharing this.
I'm currently 21 Radiation, and 4 Chemotherapy treatments into my cancer journey. You've inspired me to post here once I've beaten it. My lesson is to go for second opinions, and don't let one Doctor just simply continue to treat ongoing pain without investigating a cause.

i do not know if i got cancer but im currently under treatment for "Irritable Colon" pain and disconfort right side of the abdomen, my grandmother(father side) suffers from diverculitis (colon pain for life) and my mom has like a very irritable colon, so maybe i just got some of those, i did skiped one of the pills today and was feeling the thing again so the medication is doing something.. in halfway of the treatment 15 days of 30.. but after reading about the irritable colon disease it can last from 1 month to 3-4.. i also did an Abdominal ultrasound and they just found little bit of colon inflamation.. nothing else.. for now.. im just 27, first time in my life i feel pain in one of my organs apart from the stomach.. like gastritis i did have before.. this is very frustrating since if this is like genetic stuff from mom/grand, i will need to eat this healthy food i have been eating for 15 days forever, if not, im scared to death to find something else, if this treatment ends and the pain stills.
