I was at work the 23.12.2019. I had already seen a few videos people ( namely fourious pete https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCspJ-h5Mw9_zeEhJDzMpkkA) who had testicular cancer. So because why not check my marbles on the company clock? I felt a small bump and decided - so that i can have a peaceful Christmas to go to a the urology immediately - take the rest of the day of. Christmas is HERE :)

My doctor got down there to feel ma ball and said ' I cannot feel anything but lets make an ultrasound of the ball. He saw something now i'm here!

Still, go for you checkups people, its over immediately and if you don't get a freak of nature cancer (like me) then u will be fine! Recovery rate is >90%

I guess my biggest question would be what you are doing mentally to cope with the knowledge of your own demise? Have you accepted it?

I’m so sorry this is happening to you. At least you can say you put up a hell of a fight and are going out swinging. Fuck cancer and your bravery is inspiring.

When the time comes, rest easy and know you’ll be in a better place than this crazy world.

Wow, sorry to hear that, man. You are so brave, I admire that you are willing to share this very vulnerable time with us in this fashion. What are the things that you focus on at this point? And what are things you want to do but fear you might not have enough time to? What is something that brings you joy despite the circumstances? And fwiw, good luck. Maybe there is a miracle that can still happen. If there's some combination of treatments that miight work, do try it out. Peace to you.

I'm so sorry, man, that's so tough. I wanted to ask, how do you manage your feelings? Don't you feel extremely sad or angry at life for this happening to you so young? I can't even imagine. I have a medical condition that worsened suddenly at 24, making me lose my career. It's irrelevant compared to what you're going through, and still I can't help but feel so angry, and I don't think those feelings will ever go away. How do you deal with this?
