So testicles have no kind of importance? Would you have that same energy for a woman with ovarian cancer?

Sad to hear, but from what I've read it sounds like the docs are confident he'll be okay and they caught it early. That's really the best possible news and I hope it turns out as well as expected.

The survival rate is really high. They didn't detect Lance Armstrong's until stage 4. It's testosterone driven so it usually afflicts men under 40.

Yes, Nene came to mind instantly. Nene had it in 2006, but then recovered and played for years. I am not familiar with this, but obviously, when people get cancer, the first priority is just surviving.

You think person getting cancer is funny? Joined date 2005, but you would think 13 year old made the comment.

Granted, I am not praying myself, because I do not believe in such a thing, but people just wishing a 20 year old with cancer health you know...

It's ok to laugh at testicular cancer and it's ok to laugh at people praying for someone's testicles.

No, it is not ok to laugh at testicular cancer. Anyone who is not complete sociopath should know that.

I had stage 3 ball cancer in 2019 as a relatively unhealthy person in my later 30s. Topic will most probably be totally fine as a healthy young athlete.
