That is so sad.  I read that he recently got married.  Hopefully the cancer is in its early stages and he can be cured.

Oh no! He is such a nice man, I see him a lot on ABC News. His mom and dad would have been so proud of the man he has become. I truly hope he is in the early stages and that it is curable!

He was on GMA telling his story.  This happened 3 months after he was married in January. He had testicular cancer. He went to Sloan in NYC and as of today he is clean. It was quite the journey he and his wife went through. He is such a sweetie.

You might want to fix the typo in the subject line so that people can tell who you're talking about.  Thanks.

@santorini I am on  a Mac and cannot correct. Posters do not seem to have an issue with knowing who I am talking about. Its posts like this that make me stay away from posting for long periods

It depends on how soon they caught it.  Early stages hardly ever have symptoms, my husband had it and was "lucky" he had pain from it.  Most times that doesn't happen and when they do find it's too late.

They remove the whole testicle, not just the tumor.

Wow.   Will's mother died of lung cancer, and she wasn't a smoker!

There's a great article in People magazine about his journey.  He's now cancer free. He had his sperm frozen so when they are ready to start a family they have the means. He talks about his mom and dad's marriage.  Talks about this happening to him so early in his own marriage and how he's thankful for his wife pushing him to have it looked into.  If he had waited the outcome might not have been the same.
