Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Colby Brock revealed he beat cancer on his official Twitter page.
He wrote: “I BEAT CANCER.”
The surgery was deemed a success and Colby was soon described as being cancer free. But unfortunately, the journey doesn’t end there.
Even though he was deemed cancer free, the doctors said there was still a 35% risk of the cancer returning. Because of this, Colby had a choice of active surveillance of 2 years where he would regularly get blood works and scans to make sure the cancer didn’t return, or he could do one round of chemo which would last 21 days.
Obviously the ‘cancer’ word is scary, and I’m still in disbelief about the whole situation but my scans showed that I caught it early,” he added. “Yesterday I went to surgery to get my cancer ball removed, so the hard part is already over.”
He also encouraged his fans and followers who have testicles to get theirs checked regularly, because testicular cancer can be very treatable if it’s caught early. Colby then went on to ask Dr Mike about his views on whether or not he should go through chemotherapy. He said he knew it would decrease the risk of the cancer coming back, but he was also scared of the side effects, mainly infertility and losing his hair, which is an important part of his job.
Since filming the interview, Colby has announced to his fans that he started the round of chemo on April 24, after posting photos of himself in the treatment room at the hospital.
Colby Brock was diagnosed with cancer.
In a recent life update, Colby announced that he had been diagnosed with testicular cancer following a recent trip to the doctor. In the update, Colby also said that he had had surgery on Feb. 7, and was trying to maintain a positive attitude.
“I went to see a doctor for some pain I was having in my lower pelvis/left testicle, and after scans/blood work, I was told I have a mass in my ball that was 95% likely to be cancer,” Colby explained in his post.
