At Treasured Chests our mission is clear: to provide support to women who are facing or have fought breast cancer. We want to provide our members with a safe space to discuss what they have been through and work through the life changing experience of breast cancer treatment together.

Our members are some of the most interesting women you will ever meet and they continue to inspire us month on month.

The group is run by a passionate group of volunteers who are committed to our mission, creating meaningful change through their work.

Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 15 to 35 yet many young and middle-aged men are unaware of how to check themselves for the signs and symptoms. Every year in the UK over 2,400 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer, but it is over 96% curable, especially if it is treated in its early stages.

We encourage men to check themselves regularly and feel confident to see a GP if they have any concerns.Testicular cancers are also called germ cell tumours. Germ cells in men produce sperm, which is why you get the tumours in the testicles. There are many different types of testicular cancers from Seminomas, Non-seminomatous germ cell tumours to rarer types such as non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

If you are diagnosed as having one of these then try not to worry. Testicular cancers are among the most treatable forms of cancer and have very high survival rates.

If you have been diagnosed recently and want to talk to someone then contact us via email to info@itsontheball.org. We will put you touch with one of our members who has been through this themselves, and be happy to meet up for a coffee, (or a pint!), or have a chat over the phone to talk about their experience and what they did to cope through the process. We also offer to support family members who may be concerned.

You or someone you know may have just been diagnosed, in treatment or just finished. You may be caring for someone with cancer, or worried about upcoming appointments. It’s perfectly normal to have questions, concerns and worries, our support and information is here to help you every step of the way.
