Will Reeve defeats testicular cancer after aggressive treatment
Will Reeve, a Good Morning America correspondent, received clean scans in September after treatment for testicular cancer.
Will Reeve announced on air this week that he has beaten testicular cancer. The 34-year-old found a lump in his left testicle earlier this year, just months after his wedding.
Surgery revealed embryonal carcinoma, an aggressive subtype. The cancer had spread to lymph nodes in his abdomen.
Reeve underwent a second surgery to remove the affected nodes, then two rounds of chemotherapy. He finished treatment in July and received clean scans on September 8.
He experienced several side effects including bone pain, night sweats and headaches. He used cold capping to keep his hair.
He credits his wife for support during the ordeal and says early detection made the difference.
