Two USA Olympians are Testicular Cancer Survivors

     

Eric Shanteau was diagnosed with testicular cancer one week before making the 2008 U.S. Olympic team.  Eric swam a personal best in Beijing, and less than a week after returning home he underwent surgery and was declared cancer free on September 15, 2008.  Eric is now a cancer awareness advocate among the young adult community. Congratulations to Eric and Team USA for winning GOLD in the Men's 100m relay on August 4 at the London Games.

Eric's interview with Today Show

Eric's Swim for Your Life site 

 

Jake Gibb, of USA's Beach Volleyball team, was suspended when the abnormal hormone levels in his blood indicated steriod use - OR testicular cancer.  After TC surgery Jake and his partner finished fifth in Beijing.  They had a good run in 2012's London Games, but unfortunately lost to Latvia last night in the quarterfinals. Congratulations to Jake and Team USA for an amazing job!
