We asked a group of guys and their families to share their experience of testicular cancer and germ cell cancer from diagnosis to through to survivorship.

This video focuses treatment, namely chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Germ Cell cancer is very receptive to chemotherapy and has a high cure rate. However, the treatment is intensive and requires many admissions to hospital.

The guys and their families talk about all elements of treatment and the urgency of making decisions. Some speak about the side effects and the cumulative effect of the treatment. However, some really positive messages come out of this video.

For more information, please head over to our website www.itsinthebag.org.uk

If you or any of your friends and family are suffering with testicular cancer, you are not alone. Head over to the reset of our It’s in the Experience playlist for a series of videos that cover the journey of testicular cancer, from finding something through to survivorship.
