I had the privilege of chatting with Nancy Balin, who wears two hats: she's the Executive Director of The Family Jewels Foundation and, lucky for me, a good friend. Together, we unpacked her stepson Jamieson’s journey through Testicular Cancer—and trust me, it's a rollercoaster.
Nancy doesn't hold back - she gets real about the importance of catching this stuff early. We're talking about missed diagnoses, delayed treatment, and how it all made a difference for Jamieson's prognosis. And hey, we mix in a bit of gallows humor because life's too short not to laugh, right?
But in all seriousness, we're sending out a vital message: talk about this stuff! With your kids, your pals, or anyone with a pair of jewels. Early detection saves lives, plain and simple.
So, grab your tissues (you'll need 'em), and let's talk about the family jewels with Nancy Balin.
