At the age of 20, Alexander Skerget's life was turned upside down with a diagnosis no young adult ever expects: testicular cancer. Where'd Your Balls Go? is a raw, heartfelt, and deeply personal account of his journey through the diagnosis, treatment, and the emotional toll of fighting cancer during the isolating days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This memoir isn't just about overcoming the physical challenges of cancer

—it's about the battles fought in silence, the questions of identity, masculinity, and self-worth that linger long after the surgery scars fade.

Through humor, vulnerability, and unapologetic honesty, Alexander shares his struggles with mental health, his reluctance to burden others, and his journey toward reclaiming control over his life.

Interwoven with reflections on his childhood, family relationships, and the unwavering support of friends, Alexander provides an inspiring reminder of the strength in vulnerability and the importance of speaking up about men's health and mental well-being.

Perfect for readers who are navigating their own challenges—or for anyone looking to better understand the human side of illness-Where'd Your Balls Go? is a powerful story of resilience, hope, and learning to embrace life's unpredictability.
