Ani zákerná choroba ho neodradila! Americký plavec chce bojovať a zúčastniť sa olympiády v Tokiu

Podľa jeho vlastných slov zachytili rakovinu v počiatočnom štádiu a počas tohto týždňa absolvuje operáciu. "Išiel som k doktorovi, lebo sa mi niečo nezdalo. Po zopár vyšetreniach som sa dozvedel, že mám rakovinu semenníkov. Je pozitívne, že sme to zachytili pomerne skoro, a preto je prognóza dobrá. O pár týždňov sa vrátim do bazéna a sústredím sa na Tokio. Verím, že aj môj príklad pomôže otvoriť diskusiu o zdraví mužov. Myslím si, že je to dôležitá téma," napísal päťnásobný olympijský šampión Nathan Adrian na twitteri.

Life, like swimming the 100 free, can come at you hard and fast as you can’t always see who, or what, may be chasing you down. Recently, I went to the doctor as something didn’t seem quite right. At the very least, I still needed to get my flu shot so it couldn’t hurt. After a few tests and visits with a specialist, I unfortunately learned that I have Testicular Cancer. On the bright side, we caught it early, I have already started treatment and the prognosis is good. I will be back in the water in a few short weeks with my sights fully set on Tokyo! Along the way, I hope to share my journey in an effort to help break the stigma of discussing men’s health issues. I’ve realized that too often we tend to avoid these important topics, ignore the potential warning signs, and put off getting the medical help that we may need. As I told my family, I’ll be putting my public health degree to work a little sooner than I planned! But in all seriousness, I am keeping a positive attitude as cases such as mine are curable. I am extremely grateful for my family and friends, especially my wife, for their love and support. I am scheduled for surgery early next week and will provide an update soon. #menshealth #testicularcancer #standuptocancer
