Great episode Stu!! Fellow Philly/Doylestown guy here. Was born at the same hospital that you had your orchiectomy, grew up across the street from kid's castle in Doylestown/across from Del Val. Also a fellow choriocarcinoma/BEPx4 survivor, 2 years in remission as of tomorrow! Your points about keeping yourself mentally busy and with a support group are really great advice for anyone going through it. At a certain point worrying/thinking about the diagnosis does more harm then good. Little things to look forward to (like the Phillies World Series games for me) were a great distraction during chemo. Really enjoyed this pod and you've inspired me to really look into starting TRT.

Whoops. Meant to say I heard your story and read about you. Also all of my kids were born at Abington. Small world!
Stu is such a jerk. I hate this guy! JK, Stu has been one of my best friends since high school. Even though I am still (sadly) in the Bay Area and Stu is in PA, we talk all the time. Hearing him joke with his teammates about the "one ball" thing brings back memories. I remember visiting him in PA one year. I was doing something and turned around, and there he was, right behind me flashing his one ball 😂 But on a serious note, I'm so proud of this guy for what he endured at such a young age and the man he has become. Hearing him recount his journey definitely brought me back to that time. If you ever need a friend in life, this is your guy. Love ya brother! Keep fighting the good fight. Great interview.
Chemotherapy sounds like it is worth than the disease. Your journey would deter anyone from wanting to go through any of this. Not much glimmer for anyone going through this.
Chemotherapy is never advertised as fun, but often necessary. Some cases do not warrant chemo. Talk with your doctor or consult with Dr. Einhorn at IU to determine what’s right for you.
@ Our son is facing this same dilemma. It won’t be confirmed unless he has surgery. His only symptom is the swelling. The possible side affects of surgery has him very concerned. He definitely doesn’t want chemotherapy. His lifestyle and diet are super clean . It is all so mind boggling. We are praying for him to make the right decision. He is37 years old.
