J1 student, 21, documents testicular cancer journey

It is a rite of passage for thousands of students every summer; a chance to experience life outside of Ireland, make lifelong friends, and unforgettable memories.

However, for Danny O’Shea, 21, the J1 experience was cut short, when he found a cancerous lump six weeks into his working holiday.

Now, to raise awareness of testicular cancer in young men, he is documenting his journey in a blog titled Me, My Lump and I.
