As the title reads, I recently found out that I have testicular cancer and could potentially be losing both of my testicles. I obviously told my family and they have been very supportive. My closest cousin to my age (we’ll call her Jordan) has always been close with me and she was surprised but sympathetic to this news as it is a life-changing thing.
This past weekend, Jordan and I were coming back from a night out with our friends and ended up talking my situation over after a few drinks after everyone left. The conversation turned towards starting a family and the potential of me not being able to have children in the future. I expressed to her my fear of losing my testicles and not having children of my own, without hesitation, Jordan offered to have my child. I was extremely taken aback but also kind of secretly happy she offered.
