It's On The Ball
Rose's Poem

Film & Campaign Description

In the form of a poem, Rose describes how her husband, Tom, was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer and how it impacted them.

By telling Rose & Tom's story, we aim to encourage men to check themselves regularly for the signs and symptoms of the disease, to report to their GP if they find anything unusual, and that if they do so there can be a positive outcome.

It's On The Ball

Operating throughout East Anglia we are a Testicular Cancer charity based in Norwich.

Testicular Cancer is unusual in that it primarily affects younger men (aged 15 – 35), we deliver awareness talks in schools, colleges, youth organisations, and business premises - it’s vital that young men are educated about the symptoms of Testicular Cancer. Self-examination could save their life. To arrange a visit to your school or group then please email [email protected]

We provide patients with support packs during treatment, and offer peer to peer support giving patients and their families the opportunity to talk openly to someone who has been through a similar experience.

Testicular cancer can be successfully treated in over 98% cases, but early detection is essential.
