My nephew died of untreated testicular cancer. If you are going to get cancer, you would choose testicular as it has the highest survival rates and is the least painful to cure. BUT you must not wait...you must do exactly what the Dr. tells you to do. My nephew was treating testicular cancer with prayer and vitamins (some quack online claimed to have a viatamin answer _ THIS IS A LIE)...my nephew ended up at age 26 have not only his testical removed but also had a colostomy bag (the tumor grew into his organs and large intestine...no food could go through...his colon burst - then he almost died but got the bag...he could not eat for a year before he died...fed through his veins. My nephew died at age 26 and what is very sad is that he trusted that God would cure him through prayer and vitamins..and it DID NOT HAPPEN. If you or anyone you know has testicular cancer...seek medical help immediately from the best hospital you can get to...not a podunk hospital...a hospital that is very well respected and do exactly what the drs. tell you to do or you will die and your death will be a very very very painful one. With treatment you should be back to normal very quickly.

The last doctor that saw him said he had it in both testes, and they would have to be removed. My father lives paycheck to paycheck in a tiny town in Tennessee with very little work there, he is uninsured and cannot afford to treat his cancer. Any ideas of how I can help my father? He doesnt want to die, he would get the treatment, please help.Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16861705729424111161noreply@blogger.com
