I found out I had cancer after my son kicked me in the testicles
My Welsh LifeAvailable for over a year
Ben Lidgey was "messing around" with his son in the garden when he was accidentally kicked in the testicles - but it may well have saved his life. When he was still in pain after a week, he sought medical help and found out he had testicular cancer. A new report from men's charity Movember says a third of men in Wales die before their 75th birthday, and calls on the Welsh government to develop a dedicated plan for men's health.
