In this episode of It Takes Balls, 19-year-old testicular cancer survivor and Tulane student Hunter Addy shares what it was like to be diagnosed after finding a lump just three days into his freshman year of college.
Hunter recounts the shock of discovering a lump almost immediately after moving onto campus - just as he was settling into college life. What followed was a whirlwind of confusion from first being diagnosed with epididymitis to later being told he needs 4 rounds of chemo. At an age when most students are focused on classes and dorm life, Hunter was undergoing surgery and processing a cancer diagnosis away from home.
Now with no evidence of disease, Hunter opens up about the mental and physical toll of treatment, the importance of trusting your gut, and how cancer changed the way he views everything. He also shares what it’s been like to return to school post-treatment.
