Very important to have people like you who are not only survivors of FUcancer, but who are willing to speak out and bring awareness to an issue! Props mate and all the best!

Good work on beating it buddy!

In my opinion there is no wrong section to encourage people to be concerned with their health.

Keep on fighting and keep on telling people to get checked out.

Thanks for everything you do man

 

[Mr.Gem.Mint]

Thanks. I just want to get the word out that it can happen to anyone at anytime so check yourself regularly and don't be embarrassed to ask questions.

Good on you Aaron for raising awareness - 'embarrassment' is one of the biggest killers of males. Regular check ups are the key and don't ever think there is such a thing as a stupid question. I nearly lost someone close to cancer because she thought the symptoms were embarrassing...it was only after a big bleed out that we discovered an advanced cancer that was set to spread into the rest of her body. Quick action (eventually) means my kids still have a mum.

Well done on your fight Aaron - each journey is different for each person and it's great to hear it is in remission.

Well said Aaron, and while you're at it fellas, get the rubber glove treatment too. Prostate cancer is a big issue as well.
It's unpleasant but necessary!
