Peter - there isn't a thread on testicular cancer, because *you* didn't start one.

Breast cancer used to be something that you just didn't talk about - but campaigners have changed all that. And much for the better.

People don't talk about testicular cancer because men don't talk about their balls very easily. They delay going to see the doctor, so that it's not often caught early. Men aren't taught to do regular testicular examination. There needs to be a public awareness campaign about "men's" cancers. And it needs to come from men, or it won't work.

Testicular cancer is not as major a cause of death as breast cancer, but its just as important to those who get it.

Oh and by the way, men can get breast cancer too.
