- According to the American Cancer Society, over 10,000 men will be diagnosed with testicular cancer this year and over 400 young men will die. Testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer in men ages 15-34 even with it being such a rare disease.
Mike Albert is a survivor of testicular cancer. He says he was just 27 years old when he noticed a lump in one of his testicles.
"I kind of ignored it for as long as possible. That's kind of an uncomfortable place to get checked. I ignored it until maybe November. Actually, it was November 11 of last year that I was diagnosed."
By then, the lump had been present since August. He said it grew so large in size that going to see someone about it become unavoidable.
Late stage testicular cancer survivor here. Was declared to be in remission back in May 2008. Had my right testicle removed, did 4 rounds of BEP chemo (total 12 weeks starting June 18, 2007) and an RPLND done in December 2007. One thing that gets under my skin is, sure everyone so enthusiastic to bring awareness to say breast cancer, during October (breast cancer awareness month), but hardly anyone knows/talks about April being testicular cancer awareness month. Guess society has taught folks that it's ok to talk about breasts, but not testicles (cause it might be too dirty/perverse to talk about?)😡😡
Its ok to talk about breasts and transgener shenanigans all day but your right, men and testicles are down right a no no in society. Like as if men are filthy perverts lol . I found a lump maybe two month ago hoping it would go away. Today I finally sheduled to be checked out here in a week. Hope for the best, preparing for the worst. Wish there was more documentatiion and info on this topic.
Has the chemo affected you all these years later? Glad to know you beat it man
I have testicular cancer can’t even get help here in California I had lost my job my truck and still struggling to get help this is no joke I got diagnosed back in September 2022 and I’m still carrying the tumor I’m in pain all day walk my sons to school and really hard to hold my 6 month old daughter this government is so messed up glad to hear you made it this is no joke
@Mouse_Lover go get checked if you want to live..

It is now September. How are you doing? Have seeked help. You have a young family you really need to get medical help.
@@jvatosdo you think mobie phones affect it? I hold my harm 24/7 even while asleep next to my pillow
Felt a lump and groin pain. Urologist felt nothing and ultrasound came back completely negative. Hopefully it’s nothing serious.
Same is happening to me, its been 2 years since i am visiting hospitals and ultrasound always come normal but no medications seem to be working, i am feeling little pain in my back too.
Wow okay hopefully it’s the same for me, that sounds exactly like me
My husband was diagnosed in January 2021 at the at 47 he had his testicle cancer had the testicle removed..he was told he was fine wouldn't need no treatment even tho had no scans he started with abdo pain in may to then actually been given scan and told him the cancer had spread to liver he had a 7cm tumour he was given 3 months to to live he died 14 weeks later on 17 august 2021 at the age of 48 ..
Wow, sorry for your loss. 😢
I’m so sorry for your loss
I’ve currently got symptoms of testicular cancer, I have a pea sized lump so I’m waiting for a ultrasound, really hope it’s a cyst
What was it bro
Update? You ok?
Why aren’t people talking about this type of cancer more? We had never heard about it until my son a young African American noticed a lump in his left testicle. He is an exceptional young man who thrives to eat and live right by all of God’s standards. His diet is very healthy and he doesn’t drink, smoke or live frivolously . Now he is facing surgery to find out if it is cancer. So much of this could be prevented if this cancer receives half the attention as breast cancer. We rebuke you cancer and no matter what the doctors think. Our child is already healed in Yesusha name! Lord please grant us mercy and favor 🙏🙏🙏

I was diagnosed with testicular stage 1 cancer 5 years ago when I was 17 and I beat it it was difficult but I found away to get through it
how can i separate from testicular torsion and testicular cancer bro..?
@@yemanehadushas i know torsion hurts very much immediately.
@@yemanehadushit will look bruised and will feel pain immediately
I get a pain in one of my testies but only after releasing two or three times.did you also experience this?
@@yemanehadushWell, if it’s torsion and you don’t go to the ER, you won’t have to worry if it was cancer because your testicle will just die in a matter of hours because the blood supply has been cut off.
Was born with a large testicle but it's been growing and is now the size of a large orange.
Hey guys need some advice and words, I’m 17 I have noticed a small lump in my right testicle for several years but ignored it/was scared and ignorant. It’s a little longer but less wide than something like a pea. Recently I’ve noticed a bit of a dull ache in that testicle and the lower groin and stomach around it, ima have to get the courage to check it out. Anyone else went through something similar to this please share how it went???? Thanks.
Please please please don't delay getting checked. My friend left his for a year at the age of 20 and by the time he got sick and told the doctors he had a lump, they put him under aggressive chemo treatment and he died a week later as it had gone to his brain. Don't risk it
Is testicular Cancer common?
No. It’s very uncommon beside all other cancers, but it’s the leading cancer in men ages 15-35. Somewhere between 8,000 and 10,000 men a year will get it. I had it twice.
@@MetalManiac1911man, glad you beat it ❤️💪
@@MetalManiac1911how are you now? Do you take testosterone? Please reply. I might also lose both my jewels. Please reply
2:30 The reporter’s youngest brother lost his battle with one of the most curable forms of cancer.
DOH!
just removed one testi😢
Hope I don't have this, I have the signs. Also saw a video where you could cure cancer without needing chemo
What is the video
Don't spread ignorance. If the cancer has spread, you need chemo.
A lot of similar issues that aren’t cancer cause these symptoms keep in mind.
