Product description...

At the age of 20, a young man tells his story of his diagnosis of testicular cancer, and shares the pains and struggles he endured while undergoing intense chemotherapy and radiation treatments due to his late-stage diagnosis. A true testimony of the importance of talking about the disease in our society, and what happens if testicular cancer gets overlooked for too long. Ian’s story stresses that catching the disease when it is in early stages is essential to avoid intense treatment and increase the chance of survival. It is a warning to all young men to be proactive in their own testicular health and learn about testicular cancer, the most common—and curable— cancer in young men, in order to avoid the fate that Ian suffered. The final chapter includes a medical image explaining testicular cancer metastasis, facts about the disease, its symptoms, and how to perform a testicular self-examination.
