Olympic gold medalist\u00a0Nathan Adrian\u00a0<\/strong>appeared on the Today Show<\/em>\u00a0this morning to talk about his testicular cancer diagnosis. Adrian stated he was “feeling great” a month after originally being diagnosed with cancer January 25.<\/p>\n

Adrian talked about how he originally felt swelling in his groin area and thought it was nothing at first but decided to get it looked at after a few days of it being prevalent. Adrian said he learned from his mom, who is a nurse, and his sister, who is a physician’s assistant, that if something is wrong then he needs to check it out.<\/p>\n

Adrian has wanted to bring more awareness to men’s health because a lot of Americans will have to go through a similar talk with their doctors. He even noted that he had gotten a lot of feedback from people in his own social circle saying “me too” after he opened up about his own diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Adrian also stated he hopes to make it to the 2020 Olympics for Team USA, but he will still be under a surveillance plan to make sure the cancer does not return. According to two-time Olympian\u00a0Eric Shanteau<\/strong><\/a>, the surveillance plan is about ten years.<\/p>\n
