 Testicular Cancer is the most common cancer in young men ages 15 - 35. It is highly survivable if caught early. TCF teaches men and their families about this disease. We show them how to do a self-exam. 

 

By teaching young men about their body, we not only increase the likelihood of early detection of testicular cancer – we also are teaching them about the importance of taking care of their bodies and being an advocate for their own health. 

 

The good news is that it is one of the most treatable and survivable types of cancer. When detected early, 99% percent of guys diagnosed with testicular cancer survive it, and go on to lead normal, active lives.

 

According to The Testicular Cancer Foundation, the best way for men to be proactive is to do a monthly self-exam of their testicles to check for lumps, hardness or swelling. It’s easy to do in the shower.

 

 

Check Yourself. Once a Month.

Testicular cancer is one of the most beatable cancers when detected early. Here’s what to look for, and what to do if you feel something suspicious. The shower is the best place to perform a self-exam, since the steam relaxes your scrotum and makes it easier to feel around.

Just follow these simple steps:

Matt Ferstler

Founder and CEO

At age 22, Matt Ferstler – after losing his left testicle to cancer – became known to his close friends as “Single Jingle.” That nickname turned into the name of our cause as Matt founded Single Jingles as a testicular cancer organization in 2009. The purpose of the Testicular Cancer Foundation (Team Single Jingles) is simple: we provide awareness, education, and support to young men and their families about this disease. We educate them how to do a simple monthly self-exam to detect for early signs of testicular cancer. By teaching young men about their body, we not only increase the likelihood of early detection of testicular cancer – we also are teaching them about the importance of taking care of their bodies and being an advocate for their own health.
