OT: Beginning the fight of/for my life...
I've enjoyed my time here these past few years. It's really been a blast to talk college sports with conference mates.

Today my test results came back, and I find myself with testicular cancer at the age of 29. I encourage all of you to regularly check yourselves and be on top of your physicals. I have more tests scheduled in order to create a specific plan of action, but I am doing my best to stay positive and use this board as an escape from reality.

04-cheers

I'm sorry to hear this. How did you discover it? Pain? Swelling?

Sorry to hear it, but only one thing to do. Fight hard. Cancer kicked you in the balls, you kick it back harder.

Find doctors/hospital you trust, learn to ask for and accept help when you need it. You got this.

Sorry to hear. The positive part is that it's very treatable if caught early. I have two close friends that are older and were diagnosed they are both doing fine. Stay positive

Just remember that at least you aren't a Rutgers fan. It could be worse.

(I really hope that doesn't come off wrong. I'm trying to be light and upbeat. On a serious note, you have my thoughts and prayers.)

Sorry to hear that. Really puts things into perspective. I appreciate you sharing your fight with us. It is a fight, but a very winnable one. I know two guys who have had testicular cancer. Neither caught it early. Both are doing fine today. I fully expect you to be #3. Keep us posted.

HuskyU, you can ignore, acknowledge, or anything else you want with this and if you wish, I'll delete it.......

Father, I lift up the man that I know as HuskyU to You right now. As two of Your children, I lift him up for the specific issue of testicular cancer, his tests, treatment strategy, and treatment. I, and whoever may join me, pray for accurate review of the test/diagnosis and to give the attending physicians insight in accurate assessment of the disease and wisdom in developing the perfectly effective treatment strategy and associated detaied plan.

Our prayer is that this child of Yours will be healed and declared cancer free with the least invasive treatment needed chosen directly by you through his physicians.

So Father, we will cintinue to walk through this with him as you walk leading him through this unknown journey.

We ask for Your peace, strength, comfort, and conviction upon our friend "HuskyU" beginning today and through this journey.

Father, it's in your name we pray these things, amen

Appreciate your positive attitude HuskyU and for disclosing something so personal. You will be in good hands (pardon the pun 02-13-banana [just trying to keep things light]) with your doctors and should have treatment options. I'll say a prayer for you Brother. Keep up the fight and your faith!

My next door neighbor's son developed the same thing at almost the same age. He had one testicle removed and has been cancer free for a decade. This is not a death sentence. Keep the faith...Keep a positive attitude...trust your docs. You are going to be fine.

He's very young, so they should be able to do whatever they want with him. At 29, they don't have to worry about your insides not being able to handle the abuse.

Good luck and godspeed.
