Do you see any testicular cancer? No? Phew. I guess you can tell them you checked.

I know a type-1 diabetic woman who got a letter from her insurance company telling her that her medical history suggested that she might be developing diabetes. Probably all the insulin she was taking is what tipped them off. Just a guess.

I haven't checked yet.  Since cancer can be so serious, my girlfriend has requested she help me check.  Can't be too thorough.   ;D

I got a reminder from my gyno telling me it was time for a checkup of my parts.  The parts that have been removed.  That when I asked said didn't need checking any more.  Would be fun to go have those 'parts' checked after meta and implants, no?  LOL

Way cool, Mister.  One small step for man, One giant for Mister.

I have gotten a similar letter reminding me to get my annual Pap Smear and Mammogram.  If you pay for the SRS, I will be more than happy to let you do a Pap.  ;D

According to the pamphlet in the box with the Depo-Estradiol, because we
smoke, we have an increased chance of (breast) cancer. :icon_blahblah:
and we shouldn't eat grapefruit.....

or gargle broken glass...
