Well I was diagnosed right before my 16 birthday…I had the surgery and they had to remove my testicle. They were 85% it was cancerous but they said they would have taken it out even if it wasnt because the lump i had was about the size of an orange seed and hurt…I went through six weeks of chemo and am now getting checkups every month. I was so lucky i caught it early and thats the key. I was really scared but in the end I was playing football 4 weeks later! Get it checked out…
did u have to stop going to school?
i’m sorry i don t get it…to they always remove ur nut when u have tc?????
I think i have cancer, im 16. but i think im just scaring my self. Some times my hip pelvis area aches. And i think there is a lump on my left ball, but on my right one there is a small lump is there but has always been there as long as i can remember. Does this mean any thing?
no cure for me now, at the most just by more time, im that 1% that dont get cured from testicular cancer. im guessing not many days left in this world.
Good luck man
I wish you luck man. I had just turned 14 when i got testicular cancer. I am almost 17 and i just started back to school. I wil be done with treatment in december.I wish i had wrote done my experiences and i think this is a cool idea. The one thing that i think you will learn is that it can’t show how you change as a person. Atleast that’s my experiences so far.
i had TC in 2004, had my right nut removed, then 5 months of chemo, then had 4 tumors taken out of my abdomen with a 2nd surgery. went into remission for 4 years, now this year the cancer has came back. had a surgery in Jan to remove a grape size tumor off my lung, then had 5 rounds of chemo. and just this week had another surgery to remove the whole lung its self, still a few cancer cells left in my body in the “plumbing” running to and from the lung that they removed,
Yeah, you can get it at 18. I’ve known of people 15-20 who’ve gotten it, and also my brother got it when he was 25…
I really need help i’m 18 and think i may have cancer down there lol but dont really know what to do
Can you get it this young?!!!
Not from this because testicular cancer has the best survival rate of most other cancer types. Just ask Lance Armstrong who did the who experience and won the battle even after the disease spread to his brain. Oh ya, we are all going to die….unless you are a robot!!
no priror surgury omfg get it looked at asap aaaa im giong to die
if it hurts get it checked by ultrasound. Have you had any other “nut” surgery, vasectomy etc? If not I’d get it looked at asap.

Hi, i’m from England and have just started EP chemo for seminoma. I wish you the very best for your treatment and hope you conquer this bastard disease forever.
Take care of yourself mate.
Hats off to you , took it like a man.
Hi all in youtube land! Firstly thanks to timispilotguy1 for taking the time to share your experience during this difficult time. I am currently going through the same thing. Having just had surgery on Feb 2008, If I recall corretly I have been told I have a malignant ter-a-to-carcinoma tumor and am awaitng futher scans before starting treatment. To be fair, surgery was a breeze but am apprehensive for the future. Its good to have an outlet to discuss this with others having the same problems!
Hello Pablo,
Best of luck staying clean. Keep up with the check ups.

Hi everyone from Spain I was diagnosed with TC on 9 nov 2007 just 3 days after my 37th birthday,I had surgery 5 days later ,everything went OK except my left testicle which went into the dusbin I guess.
I was very lucky to have been diagnosed at an early stage of the illness I did not need further treatment ,except check ups every 3 months .
Good luck everyone ,wish you all the best .
Hey Dennis, Welcome to the CLUB!! Glad to hear everything worked out for you even after the spreading of the cancer. Every success story gives all of us still undergoing treatment the hope we need to pull through. Best of luck and stay clean!! Tim
an here’s the first european member of the 1 ball club!
i am/was also a tc patient, it was diagnosed on july 31st 2006 (in the age of 22).
surgery the next day, followed by chemo, than a second surgery because the tumor metastasised (hope thats the right word), i had it in my loungs and in my lymph nodes.
after that i was done and everything is fine.
good luck for your chemo and greetings from germany.

Hi All
My partner is 28 and has TC. He’s had his right testicle removed and is about to start 3 cycles of EP Chemo. I know chemo affects everyone different but I’m wondering if anyone can tell me their stories and side effects and any signs I might need to look out for as I will be his main carer through all this.
ANy advice or tips will be greatley appreciated.
Thanks in advance
