In April 2023, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer. The good news was that 98% of men survive their diagnosis. The bad news was… the diagnosis was wrong. I was told that I could have as little as two months to live. I was 42 years old. I was a husband and a father. Now, after more than two years of living with cancer, I’m not just surviving, I’m thriving, and I want to help others like me meet the challenges of cancer head on and live well every day. This is my journey into cancer.
