Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My gorgeous son Thomas, died a month ago today from testicular cancer.

He was a very brave young man, who we as a family are immensely proud of, he was suffering for a long time before he eventually took himself to A&E just before Christmas. When he was diagnosed with testicular cancer.

Thanks to the Bristol oncology department along with the cancer charity 'It's in the Bag' we got to enjoy our Thomas for an extra 6 months. During this time the cancer spread over most of his body and ended up in his brain, which caused him to loose his battle.

'It's in the Bag' have paid the full cost of his cremation (which took a huge weight from my shoulders) so we would therefore like to raise some money to thank them and raise awareness.

About the charity

It's in the Bag

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1163735
It’s in the Bag is run by a group of survivors with support from specialist NHS staff and provide hands-on support for men with testicular cancer (germ cell) in the South-West. 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. 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. Survival: With UK cure rates for testicular cancer running above 98%, we focus on survival helping guys tackle the emotional and practical impact of cancer, both during treatment and into their lives after.
