Olympic Swimmer Diagnosed With Cancer

[Dadbaddad]

he looked like michael phelps

[DrFabiolous]

guys, testicular cancer is the best cancer to have in the world. It has a cure rate of around 95%. he as a preaty good chance of surviving this.

It is usually a localized disease. It can still be cured if it has spread to other organs.

[DuffMan6I7]

good luck dude



[SirMicDre]

I am sure this has nothing to do at all with PED's...NOT!

interesting how all these Profesional athletes end up with a cancer around the organ that produces Testosterone...the male hormone that increases strength, endurance and performace in general.

[newerest1]

@SirMicDre with pro athletes? lol steroids don't give you cancer, they have other side effects dumbass. grow the fuck up you anti ped bitch, if there was a correlation it'd be medically proven and way more athletes would have cancer..

[schmui]

@newerest1 cancer is a possible side effect. it is proven.

[syco50]

testicular cancer is a side effect or anabolic steroids

[prognanica]

we prey for you.

best wishes.

Greetings from Serbia (Yugoslavia)!

[tyron113493]

[Salamence3000]

[tyron113493]

@Salamence3000 Piss off.

[bigbirdcrap]

God Bless you, Shantel.

[danmottsmith]

had to rant somewhere, adding comments to controversial kemo cases has strangly been disabled. I've only personally known 5 kemo-treatment cases in my whole life -they all died. That's a 100% kill ratio. The official stats aren't much better. Kemo-therapy in this century is probably like leeching was two centuries ago -the patients all died but they kept on doing it anyway.

[RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF]

great respect mate im in same situation ,its difficult but we can all beat this with help and support from each other.

[Baguitoful]

thats hat he gets for sinking his balls,

[silencedknight]

ah, poor guy.

[mustardjunkie]

Stanozolol, hGH, insulin, Deca Derabolin, testosterone therapy makes your muscles grow---and tumors too!

Just ask Lance Pharstrong.

What this swimming kid doesnt seem to understand is that Lance went OFF his juices for his cancer killing chemo treatments and then waited a FULL 14 days post chemo before going back on EPO, HGH, cortizone, insulin, Deca to prep for his comeback races.

[mpmcd81]

If you think that Lance would put things in his body that would put him through cancer again, you must be completely nuts.

Lance did not win the TdF because of exceptionally large or exceptionally strong muscles. He won because of a very large aerobic capacity, Chris Carmichael's wisdom and training techniques, and his uncanny ability to turn the cranks over at a very rapid rate with perfect pedaling form.

Technique + Mental Toughness + High VO2 Max + Best Team and Coach at TdF >> Steroids.

[XxSpartaxX]

the sad part is that you went thru wickepedia to find out the big named steroids to seem like what you are saying is legit. Because in reality, USE YOUR COMMON SENSE!!!! In ANY sporting events..what do they do??? THEY TEST FOR DRUGS before any big event...if ALL these drugs were in Lance, he would not have been allowed to perform... sad day for you! LOL

[RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF]

@mustardjunkie dont want to upset you any but that cannot be true ,im on chemo now same cancer the drugs for chemo would not work properly he wouldnt make it through the course ,but if he had all that stuff aswell hes an even greater champion than i already thought . but please understand i only know about the cancer i have and what the docs are prepared to tellme im ignorant you see

[laurence132]

Most patient with testicular cancer survive today

this cancer is one of the very few that even with metatases to visceral organs such as lungs and liver the majority of patients survive This is a result of the advances in chemotherapy to treat nonsemenoatous testicular cancers the drugs comonally used are Cisplatin Etoposide Bleomycin Ifosfomide and Vinblastine

[HIPHOPexclusivez]

marijuana fights cancer, Phelps will never get it

[211123436]

Thats a pretty bad attempt at a pot reference to pay out phelps.

[crowofdeath2]

it dont fight cancer it makes it kill you faster

[imnotasin07]

you have no clue either... once again a perfect example of dumb ass people on youtube

[imnotasin07]

Lol. No it doesnt my friend, people like you think you know shit, but you really have no idea, in no way shape or form does it fight cancer, when you smoke pot it gives you the munchies, helping people who have cancer who do not have a appetite.... eat, it does not fight it, just makes the person hungry, hiphopexclusivez please shut your mouth and stop trying to look smart on youtube

[crowofdeath2]

when my grandma had cancer the Doc told her that smoking marijuana hurts your cells and will make the cancer spread faster but she was terminal so she got to smoke all she wanted so id like to think a Doc with 12 years of school would know more than a kid on youtube

[imnotasin07]

once again bullshit... that doctor is stupid as fuck, there is no way thc...... has anything to do with cancer, you went to a goofy ass hospital buddy

[crowofdeath2]

what are you like 12? cant even talk without saying something bad about some one or something you really have no idea your just a typical pot head thinking that marijuana is the end all be all plant and cant see anything bad about it even if it is rite in your face

[POTismedicine]

very true , people like that had me freaked out , i heard that pot causes nut cancer it was bugging me soo much that i felt pain in my nut , went got it checked and it was fine, and MY DOCTER told me thwere is no like between thc and the damage of cells, .. all this weed causes nut cancer freadked me out , !!!!!! they tell people that to make thwem not smoke weed , but the reality is m, you should chill out and enjoy it

[DownLowProductions]

Doping with growth hormone/IGF-1, anabolic steroids or erythropoietin: is there a cancer risk?

YES.

And again a case of over indulgence in growth hormones..

when do these guys realize taking any unnatural substance to stretch the limits of your body will cause cancer.

cancer: is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled growth. iow tumors.

another one bites the dust.

[seahog32]

to DownLow:Tthere is a rather remote chance of developing a primary hepatic cancer in connection with anabolic steroids. As far as I know there are no studies suggesting a connection between testicular cancer and any of the substances mentioned by you. I'm far from playing an attorney for illegal doping but let's face it: there is hardly anything natural in our lives. Even more importantly, however noble is your cause, lying always makes you a liar.

[mclovin5211]

if i ever got testicular cancer, i'm just cutting the cord. i want kids later on but if this happens, sucks for me and my children that could've been

[helookalikaman79]

Testicular cancer treatments made by women ! cut of fthe guys balls ! that will stop it... then guess what the women run healthcare companies say they wont pay for prostetic testicle because it is only cosmetic but they will pay for breast reconstructive surgery for a female patient that has a masectomy done.. but isnt that cosmetic? The point men are treated unfairly in heathcare. no fake ball no surgery no surgery no breast surgery for women ! u wanted equality

[sn1pe352]

welp , it's time to take intravenous vitamin C , Vitamin b17 diet , fresh and alive fruits and vegetable diet , and talk to john kanzius and royal raynmond rife if he wants to beat that cancer

[Twinhit]

That was nice of Lance Armstrong to wish Eric well.

Best Wishes Eric.

[satinhooks]

he should hang out with michael phelps and smoke some medical marijuana!

his balls will be alright.

[usisthebest]

i feel bad for him hope its going better now

[fadstar14]

Oh no, thats so sad :(

[yorkuni]

Did he eventually swim in any events? That's awesome that he's so brave! Hope some of his collegues support him later on by attending charity events related to cancer.

[thepockyrainbow]

Aw, he looks like such a nice guy.

I'm sure he will pull through! ;D

[BBchica000]

hes cute :]. he sure has heart wen he says "i have cancer, cancer doesnt have me" thats really strong

[dreamwaiter246]

aww omg i feel bad for him =((( how old is he?

[pinksheikh94]

[HDTView]

Eric is so great! He's an awsome swimmer and has alot of great things are comming to him. Its hard at the moment but every thing will change. Take it easy aight?

[bratfink74]

Wow, you're a true dickhead.

[AngryWhiteGurl]

Poor baby, he's HOT!

[aquarianbabe]

So if he was ugly would that have made it less sad? It's sad when anyone gets cancer...it's just good that he's not down in the dumps about it and he's gonna fight it hard.

[swimmerforever2008]

[justgotpwnd]

[spagettohayley]

[TakaraKing]
