TEXT: [Brian has followed up on his backroom diagnosis. He's sitting in a doctor's office and the doc is showing him the results of the ultrasound.] Doc: I suspect it's a seminoma. A testicular cancer quite common in men your age. However, we can't be sure until we perform a biopsy. Brian: How do you do that? Doc: Well, first we'd have to remove the testicle. Brian: That's what I was afraid you were gonna say. And if I don't have cancer, then - you put it back in? Doc: Unfortunately, no. Brian: I was afraid you were gonna say that, too. Doc: However, the good news is that the procedure is relatively simple. As for the other testi, it will still be completely functional and neither your sexual performance nor your fertility will be affected. Brian: That is good news. I'll be a one-balled wonder. Doc: No, no, no. We give you a prosthetic replacement. [Getting out of his chair, he takes a box off the shelf and shows it to Brian. It's a box full of balls of all different shapes and sizes. Ball implants.] Doc: Here, help yourself. Brian: Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. Doc: It will look and feel completely natural. Of course, we try to match your original testicle as closely as possible. Brian: Not too big, not too small, just right. (Picks up one of the implants) So, what are my chances? Doc: With surgery and follow-up procedure, 99 percent. Not bad. Brian: And without surgery? Doc: The cancer will spread through your body. It will invade your vital organs and you will die. [Cut to - guess who! Ted at a 12-step meeting. ] Woman: This one year is clearity is meant more to me than all my other fourty years of pain and confusion. And for that I would like to thank the person who helped get me here. Sometimes he had to drag me here - my sponsor Blake. Blake is my rock. And I don't know what I would have done without him, Blake I never meet anyone who was more integrity
