Swimmer with a tought desicion, Cancer Treatment or Olympics


Its pretty sad that a man of his age has to go through this type of desicion. Right when he's about to go into the olympics the doctors tell him that he has testicular cancer. Now he has to choose weather he want to hold off on the surgery and go onto the olympics or does he want to do the surgery and miss out on his first olympics.

If I were in his position it would be very hard for me to choose. I know that I don't have to get the surgery done right away but then again something unexpected could happen during the olympics. But what I would do is that I would go for it and go to the Olympics and do what I have to do. Once I have done that and one my prize the I would fly back home and have the surgery done. But I would then think as I'm flying off in the plane if I had made the right decision.

I'm sure that not many people who have testicular cancer have had to make a decision like this. But well find out what he's going to do.
