I'm 16 and you saved my life!
This "Thank you" incident is the reason I've started the Love Your Nuts foundation. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in the age group 15 to 40.
I was a teacher when I had testicular cancer 1995. Since then I explained the risk of testicular cancer every year in class to make the boys aware. Jan, a former student of mine invited me for coffee in 2006 just to say thank you. He said to me: because you made us aware I went to the doctor in time. I've got testicular cancer too. I'm 16 and you saved my life. This is the reason I've started Love your Nuts. (Torsten - testicular cancer survivor, author of the book " Love your Nuts", founder of Love Your Nuts foundation
