There was a guy in the year below me at school that had testicular cancer. He survived it but was still bullied by some chavs throughout it which I was saddened and shocked by

I check my balls twice a day.

Lets hope karma doesn't find them. Right so you have to touch your balls and feel around. Well I'm sure most of us do that every night.

So if we find something, sort it a.s.a.p. or face the not so pleasant consequences. I still never get why we are so shy about testing ourselves.

I think it's letting the doctors look that blokes don't like.

If it saves my life I have no problem.....but I would agree with you, I dont particularly want some doctor having a look or whatever but I hope people are past the stage of "it'll sort itself out" mentality and think more like "this could save my life"...

I think it's easier for women. We're used to having all kinds of tests and once you've had a baby - well, dignity has gone through the window.

Men don't get poked and prodded so I admire those who swallow their pride and get any worries checked out

That's a very good point actually, us men have no idea what you have to get done ( I salute all women).

Thankfully I have never needed to get any checks done and (touch wood) hopefully I wont need to, I just thought it might be good to have a thread like this.... might encourage people....

Last year I had to go as far as having all the scans and tests and I pretty much thought I had it, thankfully I didn't

The people were good there and it's a big problem that men never get themselves checked out, probably is one of the main reasons why women live wayyy longer then men.

I've never found myself shy about checking..... I dont know why though, I just always check, it could be because cancer has been in both sides of my family and has been the major killer.... but like ive said before get it found early and you have a greater chance.... just dont leave it to chance...
