086: Justin Birckbichler: Using A Ballsy Sense of Humor to Spread Awareness About Testicular Cancer
Description
Justin Birckbichler was a 4th-grade school teacher and just 25 when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. When it came to finding resources or information from a patient's perspective, Justin didn't find what he was looking for. So he decided to become a source himself and started his blog, A Ballsy Sense of Tumor. He says he's using humor to break through the ice of a topic men don't typically approach with ease. He not only wants to share what his journey to recovery was like but also to spread awareness about how to do self-checks to catch it in time. He says men have literally died from embarrassment because they were too shy or ashamed or embarrassed to bring up their health to catch the cancer in time. Now a Men's Health Activist, his goal is to help spread awareness about testicular cancer with the hope to keep others alive and healthy.
