Details on Dan’s testicular cancer

In June 2003, while Dan was on a vacation in Mexico, he suspected that he might be suffering from testicular cancer when he saw a comedy show where the character with testicular cancer had the same symptoms as he did. He went to a doctor named George Lombardi who checked his testicles who told him that he might have testicular cancer.

After conducting ultrasound and CAT scan, it was confirmed that he had testicular cancer. The revelation left Dan shocked and he started crying.

After finding about his cancer, Dan started seeing cancer specialist Dr. Joel Sheinfeld. The doctor performed a surgery on July 7th and removed the cancer. But, unfortunately the tumor had spread to the lymph nodes.

Dan performed a second surgery to remove all the lymph nodes affected by the tumor. A total of 59 lymph nodes were removed from his body in six hours. His lymph nodes were then cancer free and he was released from the hospital on the fifth day.

The aftermath of the surgery

After his successful surgery, Dan continued his work as a TV host just as usual. He missed only 31/2 weeks of work during his treatment. he is very healthy right now and shows no signs of the disorder.
