Yeah it is common in young men. But it can happen in older people too. Although it is rare. My son saved his sperm. Sure is expensive. Thanks.<br />

I had a lump in my early 40's after a vasectomy. My doc said it was unlikely since testicular cancer overwhelmingly occurs as a young man, he said it was no doubt backup from the vasectomy.<br />
<br />
You son is in my thoughts, it's a highly curable disease.

It does seem to be one of those cancers that pops up early.<br />
<br />
I have a friend who had it in his 20's. They caught it early and managed to salvage enough working bits so that he was able to have kids later.<br />
<br />
It's a scary one (most men would rather lose pretty much any other part of their body except their giblets) but does respond well to treatment.

A friend of ours had it 2 years ago when he was in his early 30's, he had one of his testicles removed and they got all of the cancer and he has been cancer-free since then. I hope this will be the outcome with your son too.
