  • Am I Doing OK – Research Insights on Pursuing Goals and Quality of Life After Testicular Cancer
    2024/09/24

    Michael A. Hoyt, PhD, is a professor of population health and disease prevention at the University of California - Irvine, Joe C. Wen School of Population and Public Health. He is an expert in biobehavioral cancer survivorship research and a leader in behavioral medicine and clinical health psychology.

    Dr. Hoyt discusses how the biological side of a disease or chronic disease intersects with the behavioral side of our body. He started his dissertation research to understand how men regulate their emotions when they have cancer. He expanded his research to study where biology fits into the psychological interactions men experience with cancer.

    In this podcast episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer, Dr. Hoyt shares his research outcomes on life after testicular cancer. His research discussions with young men who survived testicular cancer found one question posed most often by them, "Am I doing okay?" Learn more about his research on that question in the podcast from the Max Mallory Foundation.

    2024/09/03

    On November 12, 2016, Roshan Karunaratne's brother died in his arms due to stage 4 testicular cancer. Shehan was only 28 years of age.

After 18 months of hardcore chemotherapy, his brother died.

    As Roshan explains on his Movember page, "I swore never to let another man die too young if I had anything to do with it."

    Roshan tells more about his brother's experience with testicular cancer and his role as a caregiver in this podcast episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer from the Max Mallory Foundation.

  • 38 Years of Testicular Cancer Survivorship: Boston Marathon, A Daughter, Career, and Giving Back
    2024/07/01

    Jim Hohman had a terrible cough after he ran the 1986 Boston Marathon. He went to the doctor, who also decided to conduct a general physical. That exam saved his life, Jim says, because the doctor found a lump on his testicle. He visited the urologist on Saturday and his orchiectomy surgery on Monday. After a few months, his blood tests showed a potential return of the cancer. It did return, and Jim managed chemo treatments.

    He shares his story of running the 1988 Boston Marathon - after treatment for testicular cancer, getting married, having a daughter, raising his daughter as a single dad, managing a career, volunteering at the local YMCA and other organizations...and enjoying life.
