An Illustrator of Footballers Shares His Testicular Cancer Story

James Hible was 25 when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Twice, the same physician misdiagnosed his condition. After six months with a second lump plus a growing first lump on his testicle, James finally saw his regular doctor who sent him for a scan and immediately diagnosed testicular cancer. James had an orchiectomy and one round of chemotherapy to treat his Stage 1 testicular cancer and five years of surveillance that ended in 2020. 

Before, during, and now, after testicular cancer, James focused on his art. He was around seven years old when his family and teachers recognized his artistic talent. He liked to draw and continued with that passion into adulthood. 

However, James also discovered football at the same young age and enjoyed watching games then and now. He has collected more than 200 football shirts.

Listen to James Hible in this episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer from the Max Mallory Foundation to hear an enlightening discussion about this young man's journey with testicular cancer.
