It’s in the Bag

<p>It’s in the Bag – Support, Awareness, Survival </p> <p>Words for Southern Enterprise </p> <p>It’s in the Bag provides hands-on support for men with testicular cancer in the South<br /> West, as well as raising awareness of the disease across the region and beyond.<br /> We are run by a group of testicular cancer survivors with support from specialist NHS<br /> staff. We have three simple aims:<br /> 1.Support?<br /> Being diagnosed with testicular cancer and going through treatment is a huge<br /> challenge – physically, mentally and emotionally. We provide a range of<br /> activities and initiatives to help men through this tough time.<br /> 2.Awareness?<br /> We teach men the importance of checking their balls regularly and taking any<br /> issues straight to their GP. Spreading this knowledge promotes earlier<br /> diagnosis, which often means simpler, more effective treatment and better<br /> chances of a cure.<br /> 3.Survival?<br /> With UK cure rates for testicular cancer running above 98%, we focus on<br /> survival – helping guys tackle the emotional and practical impact of cancer,<br /> both during treatment and beyond.</p>
