Is ball cancer anymore likely than cancers in other organs? I think not, and so I would like to recommend checking other stuff frequently too. One thing for example is a regular eye exam. The eyes are affected greatly by everything else going on in the body. They can indicate if you have lipid/cholesterol problems, neuropathy, diabetes and more. There is a host of things that can damage your sight irreversibly (like diabetes, smoking, blood pressure, glaucoma and such). And you can also very much get cancer in your eyes. Someone in my family succumbed to it and even a neighbour (unconnected). Vision is such an important sense I think people take it for granted, there is so much that can go wrong with your eyes.
