In an exclusive interview, former Arsenal and Nottingham Forest player Henri Lansbury opens up about overcoming testicular cancer and his mission to raise awareness.

Henri Lansbury remembers the moment he found it, in the shower after training at Nottingham Forest. It was 2016. An ordinary day. But there it was. 'A little, pea-sized lump,' he tells Sky Sports. The former midfielder tried to push it to the back of his mind. 'Over time, I thought it would just go away,' he says. But it was wishful thinking. Weeks turned into months and it was still there. 'Mentally draining,' is how he describes it now.

''I'm a man, I can do this myself. I can get rid of it or it will go down.' 'As a man, you build up this wall in front of you, but you've just got to knock it down in this situation. Let somebody else help you to help yourself. It's a hard thing to do, but once you pluck up the courage and speak to someone, it makes it a lot easier to deal with.
