Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men between the ages of 15 to 34. There are two different types of testicular cancer based on how the cells look under a microscope. The classifications are seminoma and non-seminoma testicular cancer.

Metastatic nonseminomatuous testicular cancer can be cured in many men with chemotherapy. Sometimes after the treatment the cancer returns. The journal BJU International published results that stated if men recur more than two years following chemotherapy it may prove to be different than cancer that recurs earlier, and may require different treatment options.

Researches in the UK did a study of men who had late relapse. They wanted to see if surgery could in fact have good outcomes on these men. The study concluded that if surgery is feasible it appears to improve survival.

Former contestant Elliott Yamin was the third runner-up on the most recent season of American Idol. But he comes in first place for 19-year-old fan Amanda Jones whose dream after her diagnosis with leukemia was was to meet Yamin. Her dream came true this weekend when she got the chance to meet Yamin backstage at the "American Idols Live" tour in Richmond, Virgina -- Yamin's hometown.

Jones, from Jonesboro, Arkansas, is such a fan of Yamin's that in May she camped out at Graceland in Memphis just to catch a glimpse of him when the top Idol contestants were visiting the former home of Elvis. Now that she knows Yamin a bit better, Jones feels a real connection with him. "He's my hero. He went through so much in his childhood, struggled through so much, and in the end, he came out on top. That's what I pray and hope I can do," she said.

Yamin, 28, is no stranger to health concerns. He suffers from Type 1 diabetes and is also deaf in one ear -- as a result of repeated childhood ear infections and an ear-drum replacement surgery at the age of 13 that just didn't work out right. Still, he overcame his obstacles and has made a name for himself as a talented singer. Jones wants to overcome her obstacles too. For now, though, she is just happy Yamin helped her forget for a moment that she is a kid with leukemia.

Shannon Harken wrote an essay to nominate her mother, Sue Myers of Pleasantville, Iowa, as the most amazing mother in the world because of her mother's zest for life and the positive example she set while battling breast cancer. Of the more than 14,000 Mom's the Word essay submissions, Kohl's unveiled the ten most amazing role model mom finalists of the contest and Harken's essay about her mother placed Myers in the top ten moms of the year. Ultimately, America will vote to decide who will be this year's number one amazing mom.

Voting ends May 8. Shannon's essay about her mother Sue is cute. It's number #2. Go here to vote.

Hollywood image makers tend to create one-dimensional figures of celebrity stars. It takes effort to break free from being a cardboard product to being a three-dimensional human being. Eva Longoria, best known for her role as sexy Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives, and more recently, for the Maxim magazine cover that can be seen from space, is both beauty and brains, and struggling with the media focus on issues that to her seem irrelevant. She would much rather speak about serious issues -- such as PADRES Contra El Cancer, parents against cancer, an organization committed to improving the quality of life for Latino children with cancer and their families -- than publicly talk about her personal sex life. Longoria is the PADRES spokeswoman.

In 1985, PADRES was created when two American Cancer Society research studies reported that culturally relevant educational and emotional support services for the Latino patient were missing in the medical community. While PADRES is oriented to the Latino community, and serving predominantly Spanish-speaking people living with cancer, childhood cancer patients from all races and ethnic origins are welcome. According to PADRES, the organization, located in Southern California, is the only Latino organization of its kind operating within the United States. To learn more about PADRES, go here.
