<p>Thanks, tsdad.</p>

<p>I feel rather foolish, as we have a family friend whose son discovered he had TC over Christmas break of his freshman year. Two years later, he is doing great. But did I think to mention it to my sons? Duh.</p>

<p>Please tell your sons!!!
TC is rare, but most varieties are very treatable, sperm banking is well established so future fertility can be preserved, etc, etc. It is just a matter of getting the word out to young men to do self-examination, and don’t ignore what you find.</p>

<p>And we’ve been talking about testicular cancer on CC for 3 years. <a href=“http://www.collegeconfidential.com/discus/messages/70/29116.html[/url]”>http://www.collegeconfidential.com/discus/messages/70/29116.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>A friend’s 22 year old son was just diagnosed. Thanks for the reminder.</p>
