On November 12, 2016, Roshan Karunaratne's brother died in his arms due to stage 4 testicular cancer. Shehan was only 28 years of age. Roshan watched his older brother suffer from the simple fact that he didn't go to the doctor early enough. For Roshan, this journey also meant his life was about to change. After 18 months of hardcore chemotherapy, his brother died.
As Roshan explains on his Movember page, "I swore never to let another man die too young if I had anything to do with it."
Roshan tells more about his brother's experience with testicular cancer and his role as a caregiver in this podcast episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer from the Max Mallory Foundation.
