Together We Will Win - by Karen A. McWhirt

---

 Ian was diagnosed with stage IIIB Testicular Cancer in November 2004 at the age of 19. His original prognosis was "intermediate" and he had a good chance, and "Together we will win" became his cancer-fighting motto. Unfortunately the cancer progressed aggressively. He died 4 months later, due to the advanced stages of the cancer. Ian hoped to change the paradigm of silence about Testicular Cancer. He asked his mom to write a book to tell his story, "so other guys will know, and they won't have to go through what I've been through," he said.

Ian felt that if he and his family had known about testicular cancer - if anyone had talked with him about testicular cancer - he would have known what to do when he noticed the lump in his testicle more than a year before his eventual diagnosis. Cancer treatment would have been less intense, and his cure would have been certain.

 Please - talk about Testicular Cancer with the young men in your life! Don't let fear or embarrassment silence you - just bring the subject up. You may save someone's life. 

Ian's story, Together We Will Win is available at Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle.  See Inside the Book!
