Hello, had testicular cancer 5 yrs ago, want to help others

Hi to you all

I just wanted to introduce myself to this forum.


About 5 years ago my world was turned upside down with a diagnosis of testicular cancer. At the time l feared the worst. 5 years later everything is as good as it can be :) l vowed that if l was luckily enough to get to this position then l would try to help others in whatever small way l can. I am not a medical expert. I am here though to share my experiences, thoughts and feelings as l relatively young man living through that situation or just to be there for others who are going through similar or who who have loved ones who are.

  • Hello Josh, 

    Thank you so much for coming here and sharing your story. I am so pleased to hear that 5 years on you are doing so well. It's so nice of you to offer now to help others who find themselves in a similar position and to give some insights to others based on your individual journey. 

    I will certainly make sure to remember you if I come across any post from other members who are affected by testicular cancer and will make sure to mention you and signpost them to your story. 

    I hope you continue to do well and I am sure your experience will be invaluable to others who are currently going through the same treatment and a similar experience to the one you had 5 years ago. 

    Best wishes,
