A candid‚ occasionally unpleasant but frequently hilarious true story of a newly-married man's journey through the terrors of being diagnosed with cancer and all that follows.
When Ben Peacock‚ a young advertising writer‚ is unexpectedly diagnosed with testicular cancer‚ his life morphs into one darkly humorous rollercoaster ride of survival‚ which plunges through immediate life-saving surgery‚ the prospect of imminent death‚ the ravages of chemotherapy and the uncertainties of his future.
Ben Peacock writes:
'LESSONS FROM LEFT TESTICLE starts in the toilet of a pub at 3 am and goes downhill from there‚ taking you on a scalpel-ridden‚ chemo-charged fight to the death - which proves that you can have life sorted one day and be fighting for it the next. It's a humorous yet painful chronicle‚ light-hearted yet intellectually satisfying.
'You'll visit hospitals and healers‚ learn the dark but strangely amusing secrets of sperm banks and suppositories‚ before being spat out the other side‚ bruised yet emotionally enriched with the soothing reminder that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger ... and that when life throws out a challenge‚ the only way to respond is to paste on a smile and go kick its arse.'
