It's Testicular Cancer Awareness Month. Let's talk about what we're still not talking about.

April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month. And this year, it's hitting me differently.

Twenty years ago, my dad was diagnosed with Stage 2B non-seminoma testicular cancer. I was 18. Working behind a pharmacy counter on Long Island. I knew just enough medical terminology to be terrified and not nearly enough to be helpful. We had doctors. We had appointments. We had information delivered in clinical language that answered the medical questions while leaving everything else unanswered.
