Cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrollable cellular growth in a specific part of the body. These cancerous cells form tumors, which divide and grow to destroy healthy cells in the body.  The disease becomes exponentially harder to treat the longer it is in the body, due to the disease's constant growth. This makes early detection of the disease crucial towards survival. The main difference between prostate and breast cancer is the area the tumor is located in.

Testicular and breast cancer are noncommunicable diseases. Some signs of breast cancer are a change in the look and feel of the breast or nipple and a clear or bloody discharge from the nipple. Some signs of testicular cancer are a change in the look and feel of the testicle, pain or numbness in the testicle or scrotum, and dull ache or pain in the lower abdomen and lower back.

Eating high quantities of red meat and high-fat dairy products can slightly increase the risk of getting prostate cancer.  Becoming pregnant after age 30 and radiation to the chest or face before age 30 all increase risk of breast cancer. Smoking and alcohol and low exercise can both increase the risk of breast and prostate cancer.

For breast cancer, having the tumor surgically removed is an option, and depending on the condition of the tumor and the type of tumor, additional treatment might be needed before or after the removal.
Surgery is also a common treatment for testicular cancer.
Chemotherapy is also used for both breast and testicular cancer but it is usually used in addition to surgery. Tumor removal is the most common treatment.

Now the biggest thing I had was I tend to sweat a lot my cancer man asked me whether or not I'd had any hormone replacement because with, now having both testicles removed then the body has no means of generating them, so you're gonna need some. Now there's apparently no rush immediately after surgery because the hormones that are generated, last within your body for a fair amount of time. But I'm sweating a lot. My cancer specialist asked me whether or not my other people had done anything in, in that area, so I said 'No.' So I've been prescribed tablets of testosterone, which I take three times a day, with meals, and I'm scheduled to see a specialist, I'm waiting for a referral to give me a date where I'll sit down and discuss what the options are.
