No matter how healthy your man claims to be, disease can strike anytime.
So, your man is complaining about a dull ache in his balls. He searches online, and five minutes later he’s convinced he has testicular cancer. Or, you wonder why yesterday’s headache hasn’t gone away and, before you know it, you’re reading about brain tumours in a panic. Men are prone to illnesses and diseases, and as the person who lives with him, you should always be vigilant. Examine his moles, don’t ignore persistent pain, and – perhaps most importantly – check his testicles for lumps.Help him now:
EYE OFF THE BALL
John Hartson, a former soccer player, was about as far from vigilant as you can be. Although an expert with football, he was anything but when it came to his own balls, ignoring the lumps he’d found until it was almost too late.
“It wasn’t until I started suffering the most horrendous headaches that I went to see my GP and mentioned the lumps,” says Hartson, who was 34 years old that time. “Within days I found out the lumps were testicular cancer and the headaches were the result of a tumour. I’d waited so long to get checked that the cancer had spread to my lungs and brain and I was diagnosed with stage-four cancer. Had I got the lumps checked when I first discovered them, I could’ve spared myself months of operations and gruelling treatments.”
If your husband is complaining of similar symptoms, get him tested immediately.

Sbu, 39, was far more cautious when he spotted early warning signs. In his case it was chest pain.
