My friend, who I played football with, also had testicular cancer. He was diagnosed when he was 19 and had to stop playing football. He went through all of the treatment and the surgeries and when he was 22 years old, he was cancer free and after signing a waiver, was given clearance to play football once again! He is now coaching football in europe and he is now 25 and hasn't had any recurrences.
You can fight this, it's gonna take a lot of strength, heck Lee became a shell of himself before he got back to his normal self, but he did get there and I am envious on his new outlook on life. Remeber, what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger.
