Low T and Me: What You Need to Know

There is a lot of information thrown at new patients when they are diagnosed with testicular cancer. Aside from the emotional toll that a diagnosis can take, there is understanding surgeries, treatments, appointments, and more. Even though it can be a lot to take in, comprehend, and process, there are still things that a lot of oncologists don't discuss about treatment for testicular cancer.
