Well look, let me give you a brief rundown. I am 24 years old, was diagnosed with testicular cancer on 29/04/2015. Had an operation to remove the offending nut, and proceeded with BEP Chemotherapy which started on 01/06/2015 and ended just before 08/2015. It was hell. Now here is the kicker. I am actually not a cyclist at all. I am on this forum because I would really like to start mountain biking and have been seeking advice etc here for a handful of months. Now while I was having all the chemo, my oncologist tried to ascertain how I had gotten the cancer (we found it was just pure bad luck, as I have not had any trauma or history to point that its in my family or from an accident of sorts). During this process that he did explain to me that while there is no definitive proof that cycling itself does cause testicular cancer, he does say that any sport that puts undue pressure and physicality on the testicle will always increase the risk.
