Today's a more serious episode of Aussie English where I decided to talk about my recent health scare. Before going to bed the other night I discovered a lump that I'd never noticed before in one of my testicles. I was terrified it could be testicular cancer like anyone who finds a sudden change down there. Here's what I did next and what the result ended up being. My main reason for posting this is to spread awareness about male health. Guys - Check yourself on a regular basis. - Be wary of any changes that you notice. - If you notice something different, see your GP immediately. - It may be embarrassing, but embarrassment is better than the potential alternatives.
