I was diagnosed with testicular cancer

My name is Rich and I am a father of 2, husband, son and brother.  In September 2022 I was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer, 6 months on and following surgery and chemotherapy I sit here feeling lucky.

But, I should have seen a doctor sooner! I had some strange unexplained pains that came and went and took too long before visiting my GP.

I've joined forces with the charity Testicular Cancer UK and during Men's Health Week want to raise awareness. 

Phil Morris is a former British army soldier and was a boxer for his regiment and did operational tours.  Phil was diagnosed with testicular cancer and there were times when he struggled during his treatment.  He realised he just wanted to chat to someone who had been through it.  To address this and to support young men he set up what was then  Checkemlads.com
