Hope you all had a wonderful Hallowe'en, that you enjoyed some tricks and treats.
Women are constantly pushed and reminded into a yearly mammogram in addition to doing the monthly breast self exams. For some reason, men are not pestered to get their balls examined. Yet,
Sadly, most men don't don't get their nuts checked - - - until there's a problem; usually a severe problem.
Well, today is the beginning of Movember. This is the month that men are encouraged and sometimes lured into getting a complete physical. Including getting those balls properly checked. Properly checked means seeing a physician.
Some even set up outside of medical facilities.
I'm going to bug you guys all month long to get this done.
Ladies, you need to do your part. If you watch any HGTV and have seen Flip or Flop, you may be aware that Tarek has battled ball cancer - twice. You need to be talking to the men in your life. Nay, nag the men in your life - husbands, brothers, sons - to get checked.
The monthly Buddy Ball Check is important. Getting checked by a doctor sometime this month is equally, if not more, important. Having someone, even a Physician's Assistant, or Nurse Practitioner who knows what they're looking for could save a life.
Don't wait until it's too late.
Haul them out
and get them checked.

I was not aware of that alarming statistic!
thanks for your advices!
I think that men are not pestered to get their balls examined because it would be duplicative of the efforts you make yourself.
I wish (and not witch, Halloween being over for the greatest satisfaction of DT, I think) you a great weekend, my darlings Jean and Pat.
Hugs and Bisous.
Get checked.
Get a physical.
We do the Buddy Ball Check for each other, of course. However, neither of us is a doctor. We have complete physicals every year. The two of us are quite greedy. We have had many, many years together and we intend to have many more.
@ Bruce - Bravo! That makes me VERY happy.
As of Sept 3 this year we have been living together for 46 years. We fully intend to be the couple that shocks the staff at our nursing home when they catch us in bed together. 😎😎
All joking aside....Bruce had a stroke a few years ago. Getting him through rehab and caring for him didn't phase me. What I was scared of was the thought of him passing away and being alone.
