Ian was appauled that so many people don't know about the most common cancer in young men his age... a cancer that was quickly taking his life
Ian was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer in November 2004, at the age of 19. He died 4 months later, due to the advanced stages of the cancer. Ian hoped to change the paradigm of silence about Testicular Cancer.
Please - talk about Testicular Cancer with the young men in your life! Don't let fear or embarrassment silence you - just bring the subject up. You may save someone's life.
Ian asked his Mom to continue teaching other young men about Testicular Cancer
There is no reason any young man should die from this disease. It is curable if treated early. Talk about it openly, to your sons, friends, students, and co-workers.
