In this inspiring episode of It Takes Balls, Stuart Goldstein, a testicular cancer survivor, talks about his extraordinary journey of resilience and recovery.

At just 18, Stuart's life took an unexpected turn when a chance incident during a family gathering led to a shocking diagnosis. He opens up about the whirlwind of treatment that followed—intense rounds of chemotherapy and the emotional toll of navigating a life-threatening illness at such a young age.

Stuart reflects on the support systems that carried him through, the challenges of balancing treatment with the milestones of young adulthood, and the lingering physical and emotional impacts he’s faced over the past 20 years. He also shares the transformative role of his community and his commitment to raising awareness and helping others who are newly diagnosed.
