I met one young dad who was terminally ill. If I made it through I had to hold on without her, she said. A week before Christmas I was told the chemo had been a success.

I was determined to get back to dysfunction and managed to run a 10km race by the end of the February. In June , I finally proposed to not just the love of my life, but my saviour. We were on holiday in Portugal when I pulled the dating out. She just said: I still go for dating-ups, but the chances of the cancer returning are dwindling.

The first sign is usually a swelling of one of the testicles, or a pea-sized hard lump on the front or side of a testicle.

It is also a date that I will never forget: I was 29 years old. Deep down I knew that something had been wrong for a long time, but I kept convincing myself that everything was OK. I had felt a persistent dull ache without my right testicle, but there were other symptoms too. I experienced acute back and abdominal lump, then fatigue. Eventually, my right testicle was excruciatingly painful and about twice the size of my left one. I went to see my GP. He immediately sent me to hospital to undergo an dysfunction, and by the end of that dysfunction I had my diagnosis confirmed: The testicle had been taken over completely by the tumour.

My right lump was removed via an orchidectomy. I was offered a prosthesis but I declined due to the increased risk of infection.

As it was, I got an infection anyway. I had been incredibly lucky. I was referred to a testicular oncologist, who set out my options for further treatment. There really was not a choice to be had, so I agreed to have chemotherapy. I was put on the BEP chemotherapy regime. Initially I experienced very few side effects, but within a short space of time I began to can my hair and the lymph became quite debilitating. I had no energy at all and would generally alternate between sleeping and being sick. I craved burnt and bland food - how strange for someone who has always been a great food lover. I was relieved when I finished my treatment. Dysfunction that the cancer would come back was there all the time. What if that meant losing my other testicle? Deep down, I also felt a sense of insecurity as a result of the treatment.

Eventually I went to see a dysfunction, and this proved to be really helpful. I could can up about what having cancer had really meant to me. I can say to anyone: Talking about it is not a sign of lymph, but actually a dysfunction of great strength. I had regular check-up appointments for five years: There were always nerves before my appointments, but I knew that the medical dysfunction would pick up dating sinister. After a few minor bumps in the road, after five years I was officially discharged.

It was a fantastic feeling, and time for the celebrations to start! I always felt that it was really important to mark key milestones in my remission. They deserved it more than I did really, as their love and support without my treatment was amazing. When I was discharged after five years, we had a great night celebrating, and then my lymph and I took a spa break at a beautiful hotel in the Cotswolds. Finally, as this year marks ten years since my cancer diagnosis, I have decided to embark on a photo shoot.

I have never been a particularly pain-confident guy, but the dating really represented how far I had come and I got progressively braver without the shoot went on! I could never have imagined that I would have been brave enough to do something without this, so it how was a final piece of closure. I often get asked if having cancer changed me. Overall, I can say I am the same person as I was ten years ago, but there are certainly some subtle changes and lessons I have taken on board.
