If it's apropos to wear "I Love Boobies" in support of Breast Cancer Awareness...
Why don't we wear "I Love Balls... or Testicles" in support of Prostate Cancer Awareness?

You could've made a really good thread if only you had done a little bit of research...0

How about because the prostate is not in the testicles??
Now if it was in support of testicular cancer then yes that would be awesome!0 -

If you wanted to show support for TESTICULAR cancer patients, I think a shirt like that would be funny and cute.0

Ummmm.....maybe it is because the testicles and the prostate are two entirely different organs!! The prostate is INSIDE a man's body, the testicles are on the OUTSIDE of a man's body. Anatomy 101...0

Thanks for posting this pic!! I wanted to post one, but don't remember how. Yeppers...they are two different organs!! Who wouldda thunk it?? :laugh:
Note though...men do get testicular cancer and should do monthly checks just like women are supposed to do. However...the doc has to check a prostate!!0 -
although the adventurous partner could try a good root around trying to locate it.0

The thing is men have alot higher chance of getting prostate cancer than women do getting breast cancer but you never hear anything promoting prostate cancer awareness. Heck even the players of the NFL wear pink for an enitre month for breast cancer awareness month but there wouldn't be an NFL if it wasn't for male fans.0

I understand that, but think about how long women had to lobby to get the whole breast cancer awareness process thing happening.
Bring in equivalent amounts of lobbying for prostate cancer and the same thing will happen.0 -

so get up and fix that. or are you waiting for the women to do it for you?0 -

Just wanted to point out that the prostate is not an organ, the prostate is a gland. CBS has started running ads for getting you prostate checked on their on demand channel. It always makes me chuckle a little because the doctor says he has performed something like 1437 and a half prostate exams . . . I don't even want to think about how you accomplish half an exam. And then the hubs and I spend the rest of the evening singing moon river.
It's serious business and I'd totally wear a gland Tee shirt in support of prostate cancer awareness month. however, the prostate is not the teaticles.0 -

Just came here to say that. All cancers should be in the spotlight, but prostate cancer usually grows very slowly.0 -

Thank you for pointing out that the prostate is a gland and not an organ. I think I will sleep much better at night knowing that information. Also, I have a question....what are "teaticles"? Just wondering.0 -
