Dreadful news. Hope he has a full and speedy recovery. How the hell was that not picked up during the medical though??
Probably would have been had it been there at the time which provides encouragement that they have caught it super early.Dreadful news. Hope he has a full and speedy recovery. How the hell was that not picked up during the medical though??
Hopefully means they've caught it very early, and should be completely treatable. Wishing him well.Dreadful news. Hope he has a full and speedy recovery. How the hell was that not picked up during the medical though??
Is it normal in a medical for them to cup a players balls? Genuine question as I have no idea how in-depth they are.Dreadful news. Hope he has a full and speedy recovery. How the hell was that not picked up during the medical though??
I actually think that the medical is more about a deep check of heart and circulatory system with a blood check.Is it normal in a medical for them to cup a players balls? Genuine question as I have no idea how in-depth they are.
It wouldn't surprise me that the reason for them finding this are raised levels of certain proteins in his blood work. That might have been done during his medical.I actually think that the medical is more about a deep check of heart and circulatory system with a blood check.
Almost all of them are cancerous, therefore the treatment is always removing the testicle.Hoping for a speedy recovery. Hopefully it’s also not cancerous and therefore easier to treat!
Good to hear.Almost all of them are cancerous, therefore the treatment is always removing the testicle.
Good news is that it almost always has a very good response to surgical and chemotherapy, so life expectancy and disease free survival are very high.
Hopefully he has a low grade one, so we can see him again on the pitch in a few months.
Something like 97% recovery rate amongst young men if I remember correctlyAlmost all of them are cancerous, therefore the treatment is always removing the testicle.

Yup, though the recovery is still physically and mentally awful. A close friend of mine went through it and was unrecognisable for a few years.Something like 97% recovery rate amongst young men if I remember correctly
They had to, folk would have been asking questions about why he wasn't being picked come September.Shocking news. Let's hope it can be sorted easily. On a side note, I really like Dortmund as a club. they seem to be run very well but I'm surprised they (and obviously Haller) decided to release the detail of the news
Ignore me if this is inappropriate and this might be a stupid question, but what are the warning signs for it? Like, what made you go to the Dr? Just pain in the area?Yh I've had testicular cancer twice and the treatment for it is very good.
If he's caught it early like the majority then it's an operation and a few weeks recovery and he'll be back to basic training.
If it's a big more advanced then obviously it gets tricky but hopefully it's early!
Mentally though it takes its tole sadly, so hopefully that side of things he gets support.
Wish him all the best!
Honestly I got lucky. I was playing football and got the ball smacked in my privates. I was also getting work done in my house and it was dusty.Ignore me if this is inappropriate and this might be a stupid question, but what are the warning signs for it?

Thank you for the answer. Very good that you ended up going to A&E!Honestly I got lucky. I was playing football and got the ball smacked in my privates. I was also getting work done in my house and it was dusty.
The next day I had a stomach ache and some swelling down low. I googled it.. and obviously when you google things the worst pops up. I rang my GP, they said 3 week wait to get it seen as it's not urgent. So I just went to AnE and sat there for 7 hours.
Then within 3 days they operated on me. So.. i'm glad I decided to go to AnE!
The typical signs are swelling, there are some secondary ones like stomach ache etc. Always advise to check your testicles every so often, in the shower or whatever. It's surprisingly common.
Definently not a stupid question though!
My mate got it couple of years back didn't get his groove back until he got a silicon one installed for the one that was removed. Hope Haller recovers well and goes banging in the goals quickly.Yup, though the recovery is still physically and mentally awful.

Could have said "injured" or "unwell"They had to, people would have been asking questions about why he wasn't being picked come September.
I think it's the right thing to do!but I'm surprised they (and obviously Haller) decided to release the detail of the news
What's the point of trying to keep this a secret? It's not his fault and nothing to be ashamed off. This way he gets a lot off support and the media will refrain from spinning stupid stories.Could have said "injured" or "unwell"
And he might encourage a young fella who is ignoring it to act and get checked out. Get well soon Sebastien.What's the point of trying to keep this a secret? It's not his fault and nothing to be ashamed off. This way he gets a lot off support and the media will refrain from spinning stupid stories.
I don't disagree with any of that, but still a bit surprised. Not sure I'd go around telling everyone straightawayI think it's the right thing to do!
It raises the awareness more than some moustaches in November. This spreads the message that it can happen to everyone at anytime. And more importantly, that it's nothing to be ashamed for and not something that should be kept under the carpet.

I guess / hope it will have been Haller’s choice to have it known. Different people have different ways of doing stuff.Could have said "injured" or "unwell"
Hope you’re doing good now, much respect to you mate.Yh I've had testicular cancer twice and the treatment for it is very good.

Just covering it up with something ambiguous could unfortunately lead to some unsavoury speculation so it might be better to shut those down early.I guess / hope it will have been Haller’s choice to have it known. Different people have different ways of doing stuff.
Hope you’re doing good now, much respect to you mate.
Appreciate it!I guess / hope it will have been Haller’s choice to have it known. Different people have different ways of doing stuff.
