Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that YouTuber, Colby Brock, currently has one ball after undergoing surgery for testicular cancer.
Testicular cancer is a growth of cells that starts in the testicles. The testicles, which are also called testes, are in the scrotum. The scrotum is a loose bag of skin underneath the penis. The testicles make sperm and the hormone testosterone.
Testicular cancer isn’t a common type of cancer. It can happen at any age, but it happens most often between the ages of 15 and 45.
The first sign of testicular cancer often is a bump or lump on a testicle. The cancer cells can grow quickly. They often spread outside the testicle to other parts of the body.
Testicular cancer is highly treatable, even when it spreads to other parts of the body. Treatments depend on the type of testicular cancer that you have and how far it has spread. Common treatments include surgery and chemotherapy.
Colby Brock, a lifestyle creator and half of the Sam and Colby YouTube channel, revealed the heartbreaking news that he has testicular cancer.
The social media star took to his Twitter and Instagram to share the “life update” with fans.
Brock explained that he was experiencing pain in his “lower pelvis/left testicle” area, and after blood and other examinations by doctors, he was told he has a “mass” that was “95 per cent likely to be cancer.”
“Obviously, the ‘cancer’ word is scary, and I’m still in disbelief about the whole situation, but my scans showed that I caught it early,” he wrote.
Brock also reassured fans that he got surgery on Tuesday (7 February), and he should know in a couple of weeks if he needs any chemotherapy and radiation.
Brock further gave a piece of advice to young men and women to get their health checked out, especially when they don’t feel good.
“But to my young kings out there – check your balls…Testicular cancer is VERY curable if caught early. I would have never suspected to have cancer at 26. (actually ladies, this is a great reminder to check yourself too, don’t wait until it’s too late if you feel anything unordinary!),” he wrote.
Despite everything, Brock said that he is staying “positive and optimistic” and taking the situation day by day.
“Even after surgery yesterday, I’ve been in great spirits. I’m going to be okay. I promise.
“I’m the one ball wonder, quality over quantity, baby,” he added.
Although Brock was briefly linked to fellow YouTuber Amber Scholl, 27, who rose to prominence by creating viral videos for teens. She has over a million Instagram followers.
Rumors about a possible romance between Brock and Scholl started after both of them posted a film showcasing the other in mid-2020. The YouTubers continue to appear in both their videos and social media posts. Although rumors of them being romantically together started a while back, the social media personalities have confessed that they are ‘just friends.’
Golbach is his best friend and together they have a YouTube channel called Sam and Colby. Broack and Golbach met as freshman band nerds during their high school summer band camp. At the time both of them liked the same girl but were both too nervous to approach her. This is why they agreed to help each other acquire confidence.
