Testicle removal: Yes, you can live very happily and likely father children if that is your choice. I had a patient w/the same situation and he is now a very happy grandfather. Peace and good health.

Live long & prosper: It is good in such situations that we have some duplication in our organs. You only need one testis for fertility and long life, The same goes for the kidneys and with a lesser extent the lungs.
