One of my closest mates, Jordan, I’ve known from a very young age, With our families knowing each other longer. We have always been mates from day one of meeting each other in secondary school year 7, day 1! Jordan sadly got diagnosed with testicular cancer in September 2021… he has been the strongest he can be to fight through all the chemo therapy he had and everything else in between! We, his family and his friends, all supported him to the best we possibly could and we are so proud of him for everything his been through! He has made us all proud and I don’t think he realises how much we all love him!!! Thankfully Jordan’s chemo therapy was very successful and in January 2022 he was given the all clear!! We all love you Rat boy 😉👍

 From puberty onwards, it is important to check your testicles regularly. Testicular cancer is usually always cured but it is easier to treat when it is diagnosed early.

Checking for testicular cancer is sometimes called testicular self-examination. Doing this regularly means you soon get to know what feels normal for you. A normal testicle should feel smooth and firm, but not hard.

Hold your scrotum in the palm of your hand. Use your fingers and thumb to examine each testicle. You should feel for:

lumps or swellings

anything unusual

differences between your testicles.

It is normal for the testicles to be slightly different in size. It is also normal for one to hang lower than the other.
