Will Reeve Reveals Cancer Diagnosis

Will Reeve, the ABC News correspondent and son of Christopher Reeve and Dana Reeve, publicly revealed that he was diagnosed with testicular cancer earlier this year. An ultrasound led to an early May orchiectomy, surgery to remove the cancerous testicle. Reeve said he first noticed a lump in April, after which his wife Amanda urged him to see a doctor. A second June operation removed dozens of lymph nodes from his abdomen, and some were cancerous. Doctors diagnosed embryonal carcinoma, a rare and aggressive form that often affects younger men. Reeve chose two cycles of chemotherapy to lower the chance of return. He said he finished treatment by late July and is cancer-free.
