Remembering Max Mallory on His Birthday - June 17

Max Mallory died at age 22 in 2016 of testicular cancer. Max's mom, Joyce Lofstrom, and podcast host of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer, remembers Max on his birthday, June 17. She shares recommendations for good health that are relevant to everyone.

Her recommendations include the following points. 

To men ages 15-40, check your testicles for lumps or anything unusual.

To men older than 40, check your testicles because some men past 40 have been diagnosed with testicular cancer. 

• Speak up, see a doctor, and talk to a health professional about what you found or felt when you checked your testicles.
• Advocate for your health when you see the doctor. Let them know how you feel and what you need. 
• Bring another person to appointments if you can't speak up or want another person to listen to the doctor's recommendations.
• Don't give up on testicular cancer because there are people, organizations, doctors, nurses, family, and friends who care and can help you get through any treatment.  

This episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer comes from the Max Mallory Foundation.
