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

if they caught it early enough then yes he will be ok. just will be missing a cajone.

Ah nuts!

He'll be fine.

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!

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.

Thanks for the responses guys. I figured he'd be okay. Assuming that it was caught early, how long is the treatment/remission generally?

Hone of my best friends had it. He had one nut removed and has been cancer free for years.

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

You serious?
I'm sure he'll be fine, but daaamn that sucks. Gonna prolly end up being the uniballer.

My friend had it twice, he's fine, but only has one nut. As others have said, it's very treatable.

How old is he?
What are the initial symptoms?

Yeah, keep it on the hush-hush, I'm not sure if I was supposed to tell anyone right off the bat, and I didn't account for you possibly reading this.

He's 31. He felt a lump, went to the doctor, got an ultrasound, they found three small tumors-the largest being 1.9 cm.
