Connor O'Leary was 19 and a professional cyclist when diagnosed with testicular cancer. After treatment, he and his dad David, a cancer survivor, qualified for Amazing Race 22. This competitive biking event took this duo across the world in 2014, and they won the competition. Connor joined the Testicular Cancer Foundation as Chief Mission Officer in 2015, where he helps other survivors and their families have the resources and community so crucial during this health journey. Hear more from Connor on this episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer from the Max Mallory Foundation. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=60247613)

Travis Wild is a badass photographer, videographer, and writer. The Michigan native who worked in various non-profits in a few places out west, including San Diego, which has become his home base. His other second home is Truckee, California, just north of Lake Tahoe, which is where he was when we Skyped for this How to Be a Sick Kid episode.Travis tells us all about his testicular cancer diagnosis and how weird it was to have to "just wait" as part of his extensive monitoring treatment program. We go into the concept of survivor guilt and feeling like a bad cancer kid, how he managed van life (so cool!) with treatment, his remission status, and his work with the Make-a-Wish Foundation. We also talk a lot about insurance, because it can be the worst. You can follow Travis on Instagram, check out more of his photography, and learn more about his story on his website, Wild Writes. His dog, Ayla, is also the cutest.Keep in touch with How to Be a Sick Kid:InstagramTwitterFacebookEmail: howtobeasickkid@gmail.comAnd you can donate to our Patreon to help us keep going each week!For more information on testicular cancer, please visit the Testicular Cancer Foundation.

This week marks our first episode with a fellow YA cancer survivor, Sean Green. The man of many comedic hats -- stand-up, writing, podcast host of Sports Gambling Podcast and Sean’s Sports Show -- is in his mid-30s and has already had cancer twice. He was diagnosed with melanoma at 18 but he says his real battle came at 29 when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer.With two comedians talking about cancer, there’s more laughter than you might expect, but we also get serious about what it’s like to tell your parents you have cancer, going through treatment with no health insurance, how a DUI and a cancer diagnosis were his combined wake-up calls, and finding other young adult survivors to lean on -- all while people consistently tell you about “this one person they knew who had cancer that you should meet.” Sean’s real passion is sports, though, so we also chat about his podcasts as well as how the heck he got married last year during football season (exactly one year ago, actually -- happy anniversary, Sean and Tess!).You can find out more about Sean here and on Twitter and Instagram.Keep in touch with How to Be a Sick Kid:InstagramTwitterFacebookEmail: howtobeasickkid@gmail.comFor more information on testicular cancer, please visit the Testicular Cancer Foundation.

On this episode, Jenna of the Boob Cancer talks to John Taylor of the Ball Cancer (it's like a post-cancer Game of Thrones episode) about the one thing you really don't want your doctor to say when she's looking at your nuts, mental health issues, going back to school when you still have chemo brain, online support groups, marriage, children, scanxiety, and much more. Oh, and talking to your mom about your nuts. Yeah, things get real really fast when you're diagnosed with testicular cancer at age 29.     Oh, first, a warm fuzzy moment: this episode's guest makes one thing very clear--no matter how the world is making you feel, there are a lot of good people out there. Johnny T is one of the most open and generous with his story people I've come across. He's also generous with his time, offering other cancer survivors and patients, and people grappling with mental health issues a word or 2,000 of support when they reach out on Twitter. In 25 years as a writer, I have interviewed a lot of people. I am frequently very grateful that regular people are willing to trust their words and stories with me. This interview with Johnny T just grabbed a spot high on that list of "damn, I am very lucky I got to talk to that one."    Show notes:    Enjoy your time with Johnny T? Go hang out with him on Twitter. Or on his blog, This is Johnny T.   For more information about testicular cancer, visit the Testicular Cancer Foundation website. And parents! Talk to your boys about their nuts. Testicular cancer most often rears its ugly little cells between the ages of 15 and 34. Encourage boys to know their nuts. Seriously. Stop blushing. Have the talk.   Want more time with me? I know! Who wouldn't? Chat me up on Twitter at @AfterCancerPod. Or join the Life (After Cancer) Facebook group.   Want to suggest--or volunteer--to be a guest on a future episode? Or just send questions or comments or ideas for future shows?
