My motivation is using my good fortune to help someone else. My testicular cancer was caught early, but by complete accident. I was riding my mountain bike in Pisgah National Forest when I had a small over the bars incident. A few days later I noticed something on my testicle and thought it would be best to have a doctor check it out. The doctor was not concerned with what I showed him, but instead found a lump on my other testicle. I had no signs, no symptoms, nothing. If this condition is caught early you not only improve your outcome, but your quality of life via treatment as well.
