It's in the Bag Cancer Support
We support men with Testicular Cancer (Germ Cell) in the South West of England
We provide hands-on support for men with testicular cancer in the South-West, as well as raising awareness of the disease across the region and beyond.
It’s in the Bag is run by a group of testicular cancer survivors with support from specialist NHS staff. We have three simple aims:
- Support
Being diagnosed with testicular cancer and going through treatment is a huge challenge – physically, mentally and emotionally. We provide a range of activities and initiatives to help men through this tough time as well as grants and information. - Awareness
We teach men the importance of checking their balls regularly and taking any issues straight to their GP. Spreading this knowledge promotes earlier diagnosis, which often means simpler, more effective treatment and better chances of a cure. We provide materials and face to face talks and lots of videos. - Survival
With UK cure rates for testicular cancer running above 96%, we focus on survival – helping guys tackle the emotional and practical impact of cancer, both during treatment and beyond.
