Green was diagnosed with the disease in March and underwent surgery to remove his lymph nodes and his right testicle. Green hopes that his fans will see what he went through and will be more likely to undergo testing for cancer. Testicular cancer can affect men between ages 16 and 35. One symptom of the disease is a swollen testicle. Because of you don't, it could spread.
People walk around for years with a swollen testicle because they're embarrassed.
Green said he was lucky that the cancer was discovered early in his body and had no idea before he was tested that he might have cancer. I could get cancer. It seemed crazy. The hour-long cancer special on MTV is a documentary following Green as he went through medical testing this spring. Meanwhile, Green is hoping he has as much success with his first major movie role as he has been having with his health.
