Today’s a more serious episode of Aussie English where I decided to talk about my recent health scare.

Before going to bed the other night I discovered a lump that I’d never noticed before in one of my testicles. I was terrified it could be testicular cancer like anyone who finds a sudden change down there.

Here’s what I did next and what the result ended up being.

My main reason for posting this is to spread awareness about male health.

Guys

– Check yourself on a regular basis.
– Be wary of any changes that you notice.
– If you notice something different, see your GP immediately.
– It may be embarrassing, but embarrassment is better than the potential alternatives.

Cheers!
