ABC News' Will Reeve reveals testicular cancer diagnosis, chemotherapy treatment
Reeve said surgery and two cycles of chemotherapy lowered the odds of recurrence to nearly 1% after cancer spread to lymph nodes.
On Tuesday, ABC News correspondent Will Reeve revealed he was diagnosed with testicular cancer in April after his wife, Amanda Dubin Reeve, encouraged him to get evaluated for a lump.
An ultrasound discovered a mass, leading to an orchiectomy in May; further testing revealed the cancer had spread to lymph nodes, requiring a six-hour surgery in June to remove them.
Reeve underwent two cycles of chemotherapy to lower recurrence odds to nearly 1%, enduring side effects including bone pain and night sweats before finishing treatment on July 31.
Now cancer-free as of a September 8 check-up, Reeve reflected on receiving treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where his late parents Christopher Reeve and Dana Reeve were also treated.
Reeve is sharing his battle to raise testicular cancer awareness, with additional coverage airing this Wednesday and Thursday on 'Good Morning America' to demonstrate early detection outcomes.
