In this episode of Check One Two, we’re joined by David King, who shares his recent and deeply personal experience with testicular cancer following his diagnosis in October 2025.
David talks openly about noticing subtle changes, navigating appointments, surgery, chemotherapy, and the mental weight of hearing words like cancer, tumour, Beatson, and chemo for the first time. His story is a powerful reflection on the anxiety of the unknown, the fear of what might happen, and how often that fear can feel worse than the reality itself.
We also discuss the lack of clear information available to men at the point of diagnosis, the emotional impact on family and friends, body image, recovery, and why open conversations like this matter so much. David’s honesty, humour, and growing passion for advocacy make this a moving and important listen.
A raw, reassuring, and inspiring episode about awareness, resilience, and speaking up.

![“I made an [Doctors] appointment and never went”
Davids story on how an accidental hit to the balls in a game of shinty saved his life and how nearly not going to a doctors appointment could have changed his outcome.
Hello and thanks for watching.
We exist to educate males about testicular cancer and the importance of early detection, through regular self checking.
We are on a mission to get testicular health on the agenda from an early age. We want testicular health to be talked about openly and candidly and for self checking to become part of every male’s monthly routine.
Through our education and information on the signs and symptoms of testicular cancer we want to empower males in Scotland to be proactive about their own testicular health.
