“My name is Julian Acuña, and I’m a 20-year old Testicular Cancer survivor.  During the last weeks of May in 2016, I was having severe lower back pain, along with pain when urinating. This resulted in me going in to get checked out by the doctor. As a couple of days pass while on medication, I had then felt an abnormal texture on my left testicle. The abnormality was very firm, and hard. I knew I had to get back to the doctor as soon as I could. More medication was prescribed but didn’t help so an ultrasound was scheduled. Within less than a week, I was told that I needed to see the urologist as soon as possible. On June 24th, 2016 at the age of 19, I was diagnosed with stage 2B Testicular Cancer. After being diagnosed, I had to then make an ultimate decision on when to have surgery, and I decided it was best to get it over with. Within that day I decided to have blood work done, CT-Scan with contrast, and a radical inguinal orchiectomy; the removal of my left testicle. The cancer had spread from my left testicle to my lymph nodes in my abdominal region which meant chemotherapy was going to be needed.  On July 18th I started my journey with chemotherapy. I was enduring 3 cycles of BEP which were the drugs administered to me. After 3 long months on September 23rd, I was pronounced cancer free.  As a survivor, I will always try and spread the word to others about getting checked out. There’s never a time to be embarrassed when it comes to the concern of your health. As a man or woman, you only have one body, so take care of it.”
