A young man died from testicular cancer at 22 after being misdiagnosed. He had issues with one testicle and abdominal pain, but doctors initially said it was an infection. Months later, scans revealed cancer that had already spread. His mother is warning others to take concerns seriously and ask for scans. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in younger men in the UK, with about 2,400 cases each year. Early detection is crucial, with a survival rate of about 96% if caught early. Signs and symptoms include lumps, swelling, and pain in the testicles. A charity event is being held in Zac's memory to raise awareness and funds.
