    Just found out my young buddy (barely 25) has testicular cancer. :( Doctors have already removed one testical and he's just completed his first round of chemo. He's only 25 ffs... this really sucks.

    I had just texted him to see what he's been up to as he's been fairly distant lately... the silence now makes sense. :(

    His attitude is OUTSTANDING though... this is how he responded to me when I went hunting for him earlier today:

    "Hey dude! I'm actually in the hospital! 4th day of my first round of chemotherapy! Got testicular cancer! But I'm winning this shit dude. Walk in the park really. It was bad at first but they got me on all the drugs and shit. This is nothing for a young man like me. I'll be done with this in a couple months. They took one of my nuts but I got one left and a gnarly scar to tell the ladies haha"

    I'd be scared out of my mind (and I'm sure he's sugar-coating his reality a bit so folks like me don't get all sappy and annoy the fuck out of him w/our 'worry').

    Kiss and hug your friends, friends... love you guys (even if you hate me). <3

    • damn... that's young. Did his lifestyle indicate an increased risk?shapesalad

    • Three of my close friends all have different types of cancer, all in different stages. It seems like everyone in my life is either sick or dying.utopian
    • And I lost my best friend last year, my mom. This is fucking a depressing. Just be there for your friend PonyBoy, that's all you can do!utopian
    • sorry to hear utop. hope they pull through.
      pony - all the best to your friend, cliche I know but if caught early the odds are good.
