Seeing someone new - recovering from cancer

I have recently started seeing someone new (extremely early stages) and just as we were about to get intimate for the first time he told me he had testicular cancer last year and had to have chemotherapy and lost a testicle as a result. It was all so unexpected that I wasn’t sure what to say. So I suppose I am just looking for advise on how to treat it going forward and then on a more clueless note, I wonder what it all means? Obviously I don’t want to ask him about his ability to have children on a second date but these are the kinds of questions I have now so at input would be greatly received!

Depends what treatment he had, I had the same and providing he has a working testicle his fertility won't have been affected in all probability.

Discus his illness with him, he has been brave to bring it up so ask questions and look up check em lads on Facebook, a fantastic source of info for you both.

I am 8 years post surgery and chemo, hormones are shot and memory is crap but life goes on and many lads go on to Father children.
