#TackleYourBalls

Testicular cancer is the number one cancer among young men.

Around 2,300 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer in the UK every year but it can be curable if detected early

This is a reminder to #TackleYourBalls

Give your balls a feel every month or so, get to know what is normal for you, and if anything changes you can act on it early.

Testicular cancer can’t be caused by knocks or injuries to the balls – but if you get any kind of swelling or lump following an injury, you should get your GP to check it out
