I remember reading it is one of the most treatable forms of cancer. All the best to your BIL.

All cancer is awful, but if caught in a timely manner testicular cancer is one of the "better" ones to have

Very treatable. Most people survive. Most testicles do not though

If you suck them hard enough you can suck the cancer right out!

How much do you care about your brother-in-law?

If it's caught early enough it's one of the most treatable forms of cancer out there. Now he will more than likely be Lance Armstrongin' from here on out but survival rates are extremely high.

Most of the time surgeons can remove the cancerous testicle and the person will make a full recovery.

Assuming it was found fairly early on, he will likely be fine. He'll lose one of his boys but testicular cancer is very curable. Most men go on about their lives after recovery. Biggest thing will likely be the psychological effect.

You can win the Tour de France like 7 times after having testicular cancer. So from that, I assume it's treatable.

Good friend of mine is now in remission over a year now and is doing fine. It cost him one nut, but he says his poker is still working so i would say he's good. They say that type of cancer is one that is beatable. Good luck with your BIL.

I know several guys that had this. They were just too nutty so they had to remove one.


One guy even had 2 kids after the nut was removed. \

Hopefully your BIL will be fine.

ETA: They can even put him a fake one in there so if he's getting them massaged, his SO would never know.

you've obviously come to the right place for encouragement, understanding, social filters, and sympathy.

Urologyhealth.org

Official website of AUA (organization that oversees urologist)

Best of luck. In general, very treatable condition
