Where to find more information about testicular cancer on the world wide web
BBC sites
BBC Radio 1: One Life
The lowdown on testicular cancer from BBC Radio 1s site about sex, drugs and relationships.
bbc.co.uk Men's Health
Down to earth, simply presented facts from Dr Rob Hickman. See also Dr Rob Hicks' feature, on the bbc.co.uk Health site, which addresses the embarassment and discomfort of dealing with your testicles.
External sites
NHS Direct Wales
Sensible self-help, plus details of the NHS Direct enquiry service.
The Testicular Cancer Resource Centre
Highly recommended American site: excellent range of information, helpfully presented, and a good sense of humour.
CancerHelp UK
Very thorough, as you'd expect from Cancer Research UK, the leading cancer medical charity. Lots of medical information and a handy reading list. Serious approach.
Everyman campaign, Institute of Cancer Research
Campaign-based site (remember Robbie Williams playing football in fake breasts?) Most notable feature: graphic photographs of self examination. You have been warned.
Understanding Testicular Cancer
Online version of the highly respected Bacup booklet on testicular cancer. Again, quite dense information, fairly clinically presented. The question and answer section is very good.
Bupa online factsheet
Short, to the point, and easy to read. Also features our winner of the most unappealing illustration for self-examination.
Royal Marsden Patient Information pages
Support materials from the leading cancer centre in London, aimed at people diagnosed with testicular cancer. Sensible, sensitive material on issues such as 'How am I likely to feel?' and 'What about my usual activities?'. Also features online games with Captain Chemo.
Orchid Cancer
Admirable campaigning site run by Colin Osborne - husband of Sandra Osborne. Level headed, uncondescending.
TC Cancer
Testicular Cancer Information and Support.
