This part two of our episode from Highgate School, which is all about checking your balls: A life-saving guide for boys and young men to help them look out for signs of testicular cancer at an early age.
Host Steve Bland headed to Highgate School to speak to James Green, Consultant Urological Surgeon at Barts Health, and Vicky Stubbs, National Education Expert, about all things testicular cancer: the warning signs, how to self-check, and when - and how - to take action.
Aimed at boys, young men, parents, teachers, and anyone supporting boys’ health, this episode covers the key facts, busts common myths, and offers practical, potentially life-saving advice.
In part two the guests are also joined by Head of Year 7, Phil Bartlett, who shares how schools are playing a key role in raising awareness, and why talking openly about this topic could save a life.
The key, as with other forms of cancer, is early diagnosis. This is achieved through knowing the signs of symptoms, regular self-checking and then taking action if you do find anything. It is unlikely to be cancer or anything serious, but if there is something that needs looking into, the earlier the better as treatment is likely to be easier.
James and Vicky talk about the fantastic range of education resources available, co-developed with Highgate School in north London. For more information visit www.testicularhealth.info
