Testicular Cancer
|
|
Hi
I have been on the forum for the past few months. I just finished my first brew an oktoberfest from true brew. They have been bottled and awaiting my return.
I was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer a few days ago and I am currently awaiting surgery to remove my bad nut. I have already thought about making a "one nut brew" or even naming my brew "one nut brewing company"
Anyway I wanted to raise awareness and tell every guy on the forum to do a self check tonight. All the girls on the forum give your guy a self exam.
I am only 29 years old and apparently the prime time to get this form of cancer is 20 - 35 years of age.
If anyone has gone through this please feel free to contact me if you have time. I am scared but I am trying to keep a good outlook on things.
Everyone drink a home brew for me!! and I will toast to everyone once I get back home.
Charlie

Bro, I am sorry to hear about this. We all wish you the best, I am sure everything will be fine. Thank you for the reminder, and let us know if there is anything we can do to help. We all wish you a quick recovery.
Let us know how the oktoberfest turns out. The one nut brewery is a cool idea, I am worried about the logo choices though.

That's good to know! Right now it's kinda like brewing. The waiting is killing me. I just wish they could get the surgery over and tell me where I stand. |
