I was supposed to have regular check-ups, but for ten years, I couldn’t find the time to visit a urologist,” shares Gediminas Jakubonis candidly, openly, and in detail as he tells his story following a testicular cancer diagnosis.
Men’s Health Starts with the Courage to Get Checked and Ask for Help
2025-04-07“I joke that I probably look even better now than I did before the surgery,” says Lukas (name changed), radiating optimism and a bright outlook just a year after being diagnosed with testicular cancer.
