Board-certified urologist Dr. Jason B. Carter explains his role in the diagnosis of testicular cancer."It's important to understand that when you have a diagnosis like testicular cancer, to some degree, the urologist may be the quarterback in the beginning. With testicular cancer, the urologist is going to be the one you meet, get the initial procedures done, and do the post-op follow-up."I'm very fortunate to have an excellent radiation oncologist that I work with, and very fortunate to have a couple of very, very good medical oncologists that I work with."Definitely anytime you have any kind of cancer, including testicular cancer, it is always a team approach." He shares his insights on treating testicular patients at Unity Urology, his practice in East Tennessee. He has been providing quality urologic care since 2003 and opened Unity Urology in 2006 in Greenville, Tennessee. Other urologic conditions to know about: Dr. Carter talks about other urologic conditions such as low testosterone, other hormone therapies for men and women, infertility, incontinence, and erectile disfunction. He is a medical advisor for Aeroflow Urology.Dr. Carter's medical degree is from East Tennessee University. He completed a residency at the University Hospital and clinics in Columbia, Missouri. He is board-certified in urology by the American Board of Urology and a member of the American Urological Association and the Tennessee Medical Association. Send us a textSupport the showFind us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook & Linkedin.

At just 15 years old, Mike Oshinski was diagnosed with advanced testicular cancer — at a time when awareness was almost nonexistent. In this powerful episode of It Takes Balls, Mike shares his journey from a small-town high school athlete to surviving stage 3C metastatic testicular cancer with the help of Dr. Lawrence Einhorn's groundbreaking cisplatin-based chemotherapy.He describes months of grueling treatment, multiple surgeries including a partial liver resection and RPLND, and the emotional toll of fighting for survival as a teenager. Mike also reflects on the legacy of that battle from the long-term side effects and emotional healing to the incredible full-circle moment when his own son faced a testicular cancer diagnosis decades later.This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by testicular cancer, offering insight, hope, and perspective from one of the early success stories of modern testicular cancer treatment.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

Jesse Beck's journey with stage 3 testicular cancer began in an unexpected way: persistent back pain. At first, he chalked it up to getting older or from dancing again after years away, but the pain escalated until he could hardly walk or sit. Doctors initially suspected autoimmune issues, but tests eventually revealed enlarged lymph nodes, a tumor pressing into his spine, and dangerous blood clots in his iliac veins.His diagnosis of 100% seminoma was both devastating and a relief - devastating because the tumor had spread, but a relief because seminoma typically responds well to chemotherapy. Jesse endured multiple ER visits, a painful orchiectomy, blood thinners, and three rounds of BEP chemotherapy. Within days of starting treatment, he felt the first real relief from the crushing spinal pain.Throughout his journey, dance became his anchor. Even while using a cane and conserving energy, Jesse continued choreographing and teaching ballet classes as a way to hold onto joy and creativity during treatment. Support from his family and friends in both California and New York helped carry him through long hospital stays, setbacks, and scanxiety.Now in remission but still managing lingering blood clots, Jesse is focusing on rebuilding both physically and mentally. His story is a reminder that back pain can be an overlooked symptom of testicular cancer, and that recovery is not just about being “cured," it's also about navigating life after treatment with patience, resilience, and support.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

In 2021, one day away from his fortieth birthday, Ty Cedars felt pain in one of his testicles and noticed it was enlarged.  He contacted his physician, asking to be seen.  The following day, en route to a birthday celebration, Ty received a call from his doctor, requesting that Ty come right away.   The Alexandria, Louisiana-based schoolteacher soon underwent an ultrasound, then was directed to a urologist, who told Ty that he had testicular cancer.  He took the news calmly and was told by the doctor that this was a very treatable cancer, but that he would have to go on a chemotherapy regimen called BEP.  That is a cocktail consisting of cisplatin, beleomycin and etopicide.    Ty said the worst part of the regimen was severe nausea.  He vomited acid into his throat, which took away his voice.  Ty also said he was extremely weak, and that resting wasn't easy.  He could only watch television for ten to twenty minutes at a time.  Even though he had a stack of books ready to read, reading was out of the question because it was too hard to focus on the small print for much more than a paragraph.   As a singer in the local chorale, Ty found tranquility in choral music, which he accessed on YouTube.   The chemotherapy did its job and Ty was told there was no evidence of disease.  He was able to return to the classroom, can go to the gym, and his health is very close to what it was prior to his diagnosis.   However, he occasionally suffers from neuropathy, and because of the damage to his throat from the chemo regimen, his singing voice has dropped from a baritone to a bass.   Other than that, Ty Cedars is thrilled with the life he is leading.  By way of advice, he says if you notice something with your health that seems abnormal, don't take chances and see your doctor.  Because he was proactive, his cancer was detected at an early stage.

In this episode of It Takes Balls, 26-year-old survivor Jonny King shares his powerful story of discovering a testicular lump, receiving a cancer diagnosis, and navigating treatment through the UK's National Health Service (NHS).Jonny first noticed his symptoms during a self-exam - an essential tool in the early detection of testicular cancer. Within weeks, he was on the urgent cancer pathway, undergoing blood tests, scans, and ultimately an orchiectomy (orchidectomy) to remove the testicle. While the initial surgery was successful, his tumor markers continued to rise, leading to chemotherapy and later an RPLND (retroperitoneal lymph node dissection) to remove residual disease.He opens up about the emotional and physical challenges of treatment, including hair loss, isolation during chemo, recovery after major surgery, and the lasting impact on fertility and body image. Jonny also reflects on what it means to navigate survivorship as a young gay man, underscoring the importance of mental health support and community connection after cancer.Now in remission, Jonny is determined to raise awareness by sharing his story, encouraging monthly self-exams, and reminding others that early detection of testicular cancer saves lives. His journey offers valuable insights for anyone searching for answers about testicular cancer symptoms, treatment, or life after cancer.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

It's been a decade since PJ Branco's testicular cancer diagnosis in 2015. In early August 2025, he completed his third year as a participant in the PanMassChallenge⁩ with his personal goal to raise $10,000 for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The two-day race covers 186 miles, and PJ is one of 1,000 living proof cyclists and volunteers who have been previously or are currently being treated for cancer. All the money raised in this charity event goes directly to cancer care at this treatment center.PJ was the third member of his family to survive cancer. His mom learned she had breast cancer in 2005, and his father received his colon cancer diagnosis a few years later when PJ was in college. In 2015, PJ had his right testicle removed, and three months later, when a scan showed an inflamed lymph node in his back, he underwent chemotherapy. He compares his cycling stamina in 2025 to a time during 2015. After the removal of his right testicle and chemotherapy, PJ considered it an accomplishment to walk up and down his driveway. Now, 10 years later, he talks about life with his wife and four-year-old son, and his dedication to giving back to the cancer institute that treated him and his mother. As he explained in the podcast, "I now give back to those who helped save my life." He shares his story in this episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer from the Max Mallory Foundation.  Send us a textSupport the showFind us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook & Linkedin.

In this deeply reflective episode of It Takes Balls, testicular cancer survivor David Rimmer shares a powerful story of diagnosis, survivorship, and resilience that spans more than 30 years. Diagnosed in 1992 at age 32, long before awareness campaigns or internet support groups, David navigated cancer with little guidance, learning to advocate for himself and seek out the best possible care.From his initial orchiectomy to his choice to travel to Indiana University for a retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) under the legendary Dr. Donohue, David walks listeners through the confusion, trauma, and empowerment that defined his treatment journey. He discusses the impact of possible infertility, the psychological toll of recovery, and the importance of acting as a “medical consumer” to ensure the highest level of care.David's story doesn't end with testicular cancer. In the years that followed, he faced multiple additional diagnoses - chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), basal cell carcinoma, and low-grade prostate cancer. Yet through it all, he has maintained a sense of perspective, purpose, and humor. He opens up about how survivorship reshaped his identity, the long shadow cancer casts over even the cleanest scans, and how he finds comfort in staying proactive with his health.A near-death experience during a midair collision over the Amazon adds a surreal layer to David's story - a reminder that surviving isn't just about beating disease, but about what we do with the time we're given. Now, he gives back through bone marrow and stem cell courier missions.Whether you're newly diagnosed, decades into remission, or supporting someone through cancer, David's voice is a reminder of how survivorship evolves over time, and how sharing your story might be the most powerful form of healing.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

A brief overview of testicular cancer

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Mayo Clinic's Dr. Chris Ray (cardio-oncology specialist) and Dr. Bryan Taylor (exercise physiologist) break down what every testicular cancer patient and survivor should know about protecting their heart, rebuilding their strength, and monitoring long-term health after treatment.The discussion dives into how certain chemotherapies - especially those used for testicular cancer - can quietly weaken blood vessels and heart tissue, even in young men. With cardiovascular disease being the leading long-term cause of death in cancer survivors, Dr. Ray explains why testicular cancer treatment should always include proactive cardiac screening and long-term fitness monitoring.Dr. Taylor adds depth by explaining the science of VO₂ testing and why cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the most powerful predictors of overall health. The doctors make a compelling case for “exercise as medicine,” outlining how even light movement during chemo, and structured training after, can dramatically reduce risk and speed up recovery.The episode also covers important topics like testosterone replacement therapy, understanding elevated heart rates during recovery, and why many survivors feel “ten years older on the inside” after chemo. Both experts emphasize that rebuilding your fitness is a long game, but one worth investing in early and consistently.Whether you're newly diagnosed or 10 years out, this conversation offers actionable guidance on improving quality of life, extending longevity, and asking your care team the right questions to protect your whole-body health starting with your heart.Have a question for a future expert guest?

In this moving episode of It Takes Balls, Andrew Kettner shares his powerful story of battling primary mediastinal non-seminomatous germ cell cancer (PMNSGCT), a rare and aggressive form of testicular cancer that showed up not in his testicles, but in his chest.Andrew opens up about the subtle symptoms he first noticed: shortness of breath, fatigue, and elevated heart rate - symptoms he initially wrote off as “just getting older.” But after a gut instinct sent him to the ER, a chest X-ray revealed a massive tumor near his heart. Thanks to the quick thinking of oncologist Dr. Sean Kern, who recognized elevated tumor markers, Andrew was spared unnecessary surgery and given a critical diagnosis: testicular cancer.With a prognosis of only 40–50% survival at two years, Andrew began a grueling VIP chemotherapy regimen, complicated by a blood clot and extreme side effects including weight loss and neuropathy. He credits his survival not only to expert care at Walter Reed and Indiana University Health but also to the unshakable support of his wife, children, and medical team.The episode also explores what survivorship looks like as a military leader and father. Andrew reflects on the emotional toll of treatment, the way it reshaped his priorities, and how he's teaching his sons to check themselves monthly for early signs of testicular cancer. Now with no evidence of disease, he's using his experience to raise awareness within the military community, where he believes testicular cancer is underrecognized.If you're navigating an advanced testicular cancer diagnosis, are a member of the armed forces, or simply want to hear an honest, grounded survivor story, this episode is packed with insight, emotion, and inspiration from someone who faced long odds.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

Max Mallory died at age 22 in 2016 of testicular cancer. Max's mom, Joyce Lofstrom, and podcast host of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer, remembers Max on his birthday, June 17. She shares recommendations for good health that are relevant to everyone.Her recommendations include the following points. To men ages 15-40, check your testicles for lumps or anything unusual.To men older than 40, check your testicles because some men past 40 have been diagnosed with testicular cancer. Speak up, see a doctor, and talk to a health professional about what you found or felt when you checked your testicles.Advocate for your health when you see the doctor. Let them know how you feel and what you need. Bring another person to appointments if you can't speak up or want another person to listen to the doctor's recommendations.Don't give up on testicular cancer because there are people, organizations, doctors, nurses, family, and friends who care and can help you get through any treatment.  This episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer comes from the Max Mallory Foundation.Send us a textSupport the showFind us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook & Linkedin.

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Luke Alter, an assistant state attorney and testicular cancer survivor, shares his raw, powerful story of being misled and eventually forced to fight for his life.At just 27, Luke went from grappling on the jiu-jitsu mats to confronting a swollen testicle assumed to be a sports injury. After weeks of worsening symptoms and a urologist brushing him off, he pushed for more answers, only to hear the life-altering diagnosis.What followed was a whirlwind of scans, cross-country travel, and life-changing decisions. Luke opens up about going through four rounds of EP chemo, how a delayed diagnosis led to Stage IIIB disease, and the emotional toll of facing mortality at such a young age. He talks honestly about fear, depression, hair loss, and finding light through friends, family, Reddit threads, and complete strangers who showed up when he needed it most.Luke's story is equal parts heartbreaking and inspiring, and ultimately a testament to the power of self-advocacy, community, and choosing hope when the odds feel overwhelming.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

This week's episode is part 2 of testicular cancer 2025 updates. We had the honor of interviewing Dr. Larry Einhorn a true legend when it comes to the management of non-seminoma last year, released 4/22/2024, but today, we will be repeating a quick overview of the staging and management for initial treatment of non-seminoma as well as refractory disease.

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Dr. Rob Hamilton, a urologic oncologist at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and University of Toronto in Canada, takes a deep dive into the science, strategy, and nuance of testicular cancer surveillance.Dr. Hamilton brings a unique perspective on how testicular cancer treatment must consider not just a cure—but the decades of life that follow. With a focus on active surveillance, he demystifies the term and explains how closely monitored checkups using blood markers, imaging, and physical exams can help reduce the risk of over-treatment.From managing relapse anxiety and reducing unnecessary CT scan radiation, to why Canadian guidelines emphasize quality of life and long-term survivorship, this conversation is rich with expert insight and practical clarity. Dr. Hamilton also unpacks the growing interest in alternatives like low-dose imaging, MRI, and even the potential of liquid biomarkers to reduce treatment burden without compromising outcomes.Have a question for a future expert guest?

Listen to today's podcast... I had no idea. There will be nearly 9,000 new cases of Testicular Cancer diagnosed during this year and more than 300 young men will die from the disease because they didn't catch it in time. That is more deaths than women in this age group who will die of breast cancer.) Testicular Cancer is the most common cancer in men ages 15-40, that time when we don't want to admit the possibility of illness.  However, if detected early, it is among the easiest to cure. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      So Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Testicular Cancer Awareness Week: You are never too young or too old to do a self-exam.  Teach young boys just like we do teen girls to do a self-exam.  It should not be embarrassing, and it does save lives. Know the risk factors: Age: Most testicular cancers occur between the ages of 15 and 40. The main risk factor for testicular cancer are undescended testicle(s). A family history of testicular cancer increases the risk. Race and ethnicity: The risk of testicular cancer among white American men is about five times that of African-American men and more than double that of Asian-American men. Talk about it. Private parts are private, but knowing how to detect an illness early is just as essential as the ‘birds and the bees'.

James Hible was 25 when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Twice, the same physician misdiagnosed his condition. After six months with a second lump plus a growing first lump on his testicle, James finally saw his regular doctor who sent him for a scan and immediately diagnosed testicular cancer. James had an orchiectomy and one round of chemotherapy to treat his Stage 1 testicular cancer and five years of surveillance that ended in 2020. Before, during, and now, after testicular cancer, James focused on his art. He was around seven years old when his family and teachers recognized his artistic talent. He liked to draw and continued with that passion into adulthood. However, James also discovered football at the same young age and enjoyed watching games then and now. He has collected more than 200 football shirts.Listen to James Hible in this episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer from the Max Mallory Foundation to hear an enlightening discussion about this young man's journey with testicular cancer.You can find out more about and see James Hible's illustrations on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hiblejames/Website - https://www.jameshible.com/Send us a textSupport the showFind us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook & Linkedin.

Today's guest is Mike Craycraft, registered pharmacist, testicular cancer survivor, and founder of the Testicular Cancer Society.Mike provides heartfelt insight into what it was like to remain silent about his diagnosis for seven months, living like he was dying, what it took to accept his condition, the importance of self-advocacy, and what it's like to really live after a cancer diagnosis.Testicular cancer can affect men at any age, especially younger men, and the importance of self-exams cannot be overstressed. Mike and the Testicular Cancer Society have made it very easy with their app, which we talk about in the episode.Testicular Cancer is another one of those cancers that carries some stigma, and a lot of people don't know that much about it, so this is a must listen to chat.Resources:Mike's Website: https://testicularcancersociety.org/Self Exam App: https://www.ballchecker.comMike's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/@testicularcancersocietyMike's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tcsociety/Mike's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/testicular-cancer-society/Follow:Follow me: https://www.instagram.com/melissagrosboll/My website: https://melissagrosboll.comEmail me: drmelissagrosboll@gmail.com

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Dr. Steven Bradley, a critical care anesthesiologist and host of The Black Doctors Podcast, offers an insider's perspective on anesthesia and surgical care, especially for testicular cancer patients. As a physician who has personally undergone an orchiectomy, Dr. Bradley shares his unique dual perspective as both a doctor and a patient, shedding light on what happens before, during, and after surgery.The conversation explores the different types of anesthesia—regional, sedation, and general—and how they impact patient comfort and safety. Dr. Bradley explains how anesthesiologists carefully tailor anesthesia plans, accounting for factors like preexisting conditions, chemotherapy effects (such as bleomycin-induced lung toxicity), and even lifestyle habits like marijuana use. He also dispels myths about anesthesia, discusses post-surgical fatigue, and addresses concerns about nausea, pain management, and rare complications like anesthesia-related neuropathy.Beyond the operating room, Dr. Bradley talks about his passion projects, including The Black Doctors Podcast, which aims to increase diversity in medicine, and AmbientRx, a music initiative designed to help patients manage stress and anxiety.Whether you're a testicular cancer patient preparing for surgery or simply curious about the science behind going under, this episode offers an engaging and informative look at the crucial, yet often overlooked, role of anesthesiology in patient care.Have a question for a future expert guest?

Greg Price was an engineer, pilot, and athlete who died of complications after testicular cancer surgery in 2012 in Canada.

She is fighting to improve the Canadian healthcare system, which she says failed her brother and continues to fail to change. The Max Mallory Foundation shares this episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer, in which Teri shares Greg's story and her family's efforts to improve the Canadian healthcare system. As they began working on the film, they established Greg's Wings. Send us a textSupport the showFind us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook & Linkedin.

Dr. Natalie Crawford answers voicemail questions about male fertility. Questions included: I have been trying to get pregnant for 18 months, had a miscarriage, and am seeing a fertility specialist. My husband's sperm motility is 36% and morphology is 2%. The clinic says the numbers are minimally low and we can still try medicated cycles and IUI. I want feedback on whether we should stop the medicated cycles and focus on improving my husband's sperm first. I have two healthy children but have had two recent miscarriages. My husband's semen analysis shows normal count/volume but only 3% normal morphology. I want to know if the low morphology could be causing the miscarriages and if we would still have a good chance of conceiving naturally. My husband was treated for testicular cancer and we were able to bank his sperm. I am trying to decide whether to try IUI first or go straight to IVF given our limited sperm supply. My husband has 1% sperm morphology but all other parameters are normal. I am getting mixed advice - the urologist thinks we can conceive naturally, but the RE recommends IUI. I want to understand more about the importance of morphology. Want to receive my weekly newsletter?
