Synopsis
“It was nothing to worry about,” Andrew was repeatedly told, when he visitedurgent care twice for pain in his pelvis area. But the discomfort wouldn’t go away, so he met with his primary care physician who referred him to a urologist for an ultrasound. The scans led to a testicular cancer diagnosis in early 2023. It was caught early enough, and he was told there was a good prognosis. The cancer had only spread very lightly to his lymph nodes. Adam works as the director of data analytics for a pharmaceutical company. Heloves vacationing with his family, watching his children play their sports (soccer for his son Jacob and gymnastics for his daughter Julia) and caring for his 2004 BMW. He hopes to help normalize conversations around testicular cancer for other men so they can overcome stigmas and shame around it. Today, he and his wife Kara arecelebrating their wedding anniversary. Dr. Atish Choudhury is a medical oncologist and clinical/translational investigatorwithin the Lank Center for Genitourinary Oncolog
