It's time we talk about men's health, says Justin Birckbichler.

In this week's episode of CURE Talks Cancer, we spoke with blogger, advocate and CURE contributor, Justin Birckbichler. Justin has managed to mostly steer clear of doctors' offices until a few years ago when he found a lump on his testicle, and heard the words, "you have testicular cancer."

Shocked to receive a cancer diagnosis in his mid-20s, Justin, a schoolteacher, turned to writing as an outlet to document his journey, as well as advocate for men's health. Now, he is conducting a study to see how frequently testicular health is discussed at medical appointments.
