Stan, glad to hear you are doing good.

I'm going to take you up on your offer of getting shit done. Specifically, I am going to ask that you post here (or somewhere else where its more relevant, if there is a place) what guys our age NEED TO KNOW about testicular cancer. It is one of the (if not the leading) cause of death of men aged 21-35. Women have done an amazing job of promoting awareness of breast cancer and such, yet us guys lag so far behind. We dont talk about it, dont do the self exams (if we even know how to) or even know the warning signs. So if you could do that when you are up to it, or at least point us in the right direction, it would be awesome. (Maybe a resource that has been helpful for you). If one of us is made more aware, and in the future is able to help ourselves, or a friend because of what we learned from you, some good can come out of your experience. Because between our peers, and those we advise (if you are an advisor), its just a matter of time before it happens to someone else we know.

Again, when you are up to it. Stay stong dude.

Bro there is nothing more awkward, for me, like having a man run his fingers around the beans. And the best part is you can ask him to do it while looking away and if he looks you can say "I see you peeking". It increases the level of awkwardness 10 fold.
