DT38 Newsletter – “channel38” – March 2025

Welcome to our official newsletter Channel38, March 2025 edition.

Men and boys: Remember to check yourselves on the first of every month, it could save your life! Sign up to our free e-calendar at dt38.org

Fact of the Month:

More than 830,000 males are currently living with and beyond testicular cancer right now, globally. It’s a truly awful disease, but there is good news in this. If you catch it early enough it can be treatable in many people. That’s why we repeat so often that CHECKING YOURSELF once a month is so important.
