For Jeremy, a 25-year-old healthy young man, the impact was particularly acute. \u201cMy cancer journey was unexpected. It popped up after about a year of waiting and being told that nothing was wrong, even after having gone to the doctor,\u201d he recalls. \u201cSo many thoughts are going through your head. Will I be able to have children? Will there be issues down the road? It\u2019s a part of you that\u2019s so personal. You\u2019re overcome with the initial thoughts and concerns of \u2018will my girlfriend still love me\u2019 and silly thoughts like that. Which aren\u2019t silly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Talk to individuals who really understand. #givingtuesday\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q36lYKzJaEc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-finding-support\"><strong>FINDING SUPPORT<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeremy kept the circle of family and friends who knew of his diagnosis small, but the support they offered was significant. His mother, a nurse, was with him at the initial doctor\u2019s appointment where he received his diagnosis, and her medical knowledge and \u201csecond set of ears\u201d was valuable. \u201cShe was asking what turned out to be the critical questions.\u201d Friends and family brought food, movies and games to his house between treatments. Others came and sat with him as he underwent infusions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He still laughs as he recalls the end-of-treatment gift put together by his then-girlfriend (now wife!) and some friends: a singing telegram, complete with personalized song that had \u201cthe entire treatment center rolling on the floor. Having a good time helped round out a terrible situation with some humor and light.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FINDING INFORMATION<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After being diagnosed, Jeremy started research immediately \u2013 including getting a second opinion a few days later and seeking out other individuals who\u2019d survived testicular cancer. \u201cHaving open conversations with my family, my doctors, my girlfriend, my close friends\u201d helped a great deal. \u201cBeing very open and honest about my concerns and my struggles at the time was incredibly helpful. The online resources I was able to find through CHN and medical journals were also valuable.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeremy was among the lucky ones \u2013 he responded well to surgery and treatments. His doctors were encouraging. \u201cAs cancers go, you\u2019re lucky. No one thinks they\u2019re lucky for having cancer, but as cancers go, this is very treatable.\u201d Five years later, his good fortune is holding and life is good: he\u2019s happily married to Lindsay, his scans are clean and he\u2019s helping others facing cancer by serving as a CHN volunteer.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>LEARNING CANCER\u2019S LESSONS<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/JEREMY2.png?resize=531%2C299&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jeremy Quote 1\" class=\"wp-image-16771\" width=\"531\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/JEREMY2.png?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/JEREMY2.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/JEREMY2.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/JEREMY2.png?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/JEREMY2.png?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 531px) 100vw, 531px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Today, Jeremy is putting the lessons he learned during the dark days of treatment into good practice. He shared five of the most important:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Keep a positive attitude<\/strong>&nbsp;<br>\u201cIt cannot be understated how important it is to remain positive in some of the darkest times. It\u2019s very easy to get down and be upset and think \u2018why is this happening to me?\u2019 But there is always a flip side to that coin. Trying to remain positive is incredibly important to help stay focused on the end goal: you\u2019re going to beat this, you\u2019re going to get through this. Negative thoughts make it increasingly more difficult to motivate yourself to get up each day, to get out of bed, to go outside and take walks.\u201d&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t let cancer consume you<\/strong>&nbsp;<br>\u201cStaying positive is not the only mental aspect. It\u2019s also trying to not let cancer become your life, trying to ensure that you maintain some semblance of routine and normalcy.\u201d He often shares the good advice he received during treatment. \u201cDon\u2019t let this become who you are. Don\u2019t let cancer change who you are. This is not defining you. You are still Jeremy.\u201d That advice helped him compartmentalize \u2013 creating room for daily walks and nightly episodes of Jeopardy, even as cancer put him on medical leave and treatments filled his schedule. &nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Sustain relationships<\/strong>&nbsp;<br>He recognizes the value of maintaining relationships with his care team, even when treatment is over. \u201cAs much as I say \u2018It\u2019s been 5 years and there\u2019s no signs of anything coming back,\u2019 I still go to the doctor each time I have an appointment. I still do all of my checks. Because maybe it\u2019s not testicular cancer in the future, maybe it identifies something else sooner in the future and prevents something in the future.\u201d&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t do it alone<\/strong>&nbsp;<br>\u201cThere is nothing like talking to your loved ones, but if they have never received their own diagnosis, there is a part of them that cannot really relate to what you\u2019re going through. They can be as supportive as ever and can provide some of the best love and comfort, but they might not be able to fully relate to you. So talking to somebody who has gone through a similar diagnosis or who has had to take time off of work for a sickness or who has had to think about will they be able to have children in the future and how they navigated that, that is a piece that\u2019s invaluable.\u201d&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients and caregivers should call CHN because it will open the ability to talk to individuals who really understand. It opens up the ability to talk with individuals who have navigated a similar situation previously. Really talking to someone who can relate can provide some of the best advice, give you a question you can ask you doctor, or give you perspective.\u201d\u00a0<br>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3.png?resize=557%2C313&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jeremy Quote 2\" class=\"wp-image-16772\" width=\"557\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3.png?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3.png?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3.png?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Live in gratitude \u2013 and give back<\/strong>&nbsp;<br>\u201cIt\u2019s incredibly important that once you overcome something like this, to reflect on it and see how you can make a positive impact going forward.\u201d That reflection brought him back to CHN, which he\u2019d discovered during his treatment, and led him to Adam, a partner at his accounting firm then serving as the Board CEO for Cancer Hope Network. They\u2019d never interacted, but Jeremy made the volunteer version of a cold call. &nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>\u201cAdam was incredibly welcoming and supportive. He immediately reached out, we spoke at length and then he introduced me to the staff. I got involved with CHN first through the lens of finance and budgeting, which leverages my accounting background.&nbsp; And then I wanted to do more and volunteered to help by being matched with people going through a diagnosis. I wanted to talk to people, to reach out. That desire to take a negative experience and turn it into a positive is why I\u2019ve gotten and remained involved with Cancer Hope Network.\u201d&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by Jeremy\u2019s story?
