Need help - just found out I have testicular cancer

  • My brother is now 85. He had that when he was about your age or maybe a little older. He is fine now.

  • Hi John1974ed, 

    I am sorry to hear about your testicular cancer diagnosis and thought I would share with you the information we have on our website on testicular cancer and that it will help you understand what to expect and what your treatment options might be. 

    If you have any questions, feel free to give our cancer nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    You are not alone on our forum and I thought I would mention for example  's testicular cancer thread - this member posted 5 months ago and had surgery for testicular cancer at the young age of 38 so don't hesitate to drop them a line on their thread where you will find also others who had a similar diagnosis. 

    It is a lot to take in when you have just been diagnosed with testicular cancer and I just wanted you to know you are not alone and we are all here for you at any time. 

    Best wishes, 

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
