Doug Carey
Doug Carey’s testicular cancer journey began with something many men might overlook—an unusual change he noticed during a routine self-exam. It wasn’t a distinct lump or pea-sized bump, but something different about his left testicle that stood out. After two weeks of uncertainty and self-checks, Doug’s left testicle grew significantly, and a noticeable mass developed. This prompted him to visit his doctor, and soon after, he received the life-altering diagnosis: testicular cancer.
