Will Reeve Opens Up About Testicular Cancer Journey and IVF

Will Reeve has spoken publicly about his testicular cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Reeve, 34, discussed his health journey during an appearance on Good Morning America on September 29.

He said he and his wife, Amanda Dubin Reeve, visited a sperm bank soon after his diagnosis. The couple wanted to preserve their options for having children.

“Out of an abundance of caution, we went right to the sperm bank,” Reeve said.

Diagnosis Led to Surgery

Reeve was diagnosed with testicular cancer in April.

His wife encouraged him to seek medical care after he noticed a painful lump. He had initially dismissed the problem.

Doctors performed an ultrasound. The results led to the cancer diagnosis.

Reeve was advised to undergo an orchiectomy. The procedure involves removing the affected testicle.

Doctors also advised him to bank sperm before surgery. Reeve said he and Amanda want to start a family.

He noted that an orchiectomy does not always prevent natural conception. However, the couple wanted to protect their future options.

Treatment Included Chemotherapy

Following surgery, doctors found that 95% of the cancer was embryonal carcinoma.

The cancer is considered an aggressive form of testicular cancer.

Reeve later underwent a six-hour operation. Doctors removed dozens of abdominal lymph nodes.

Three of the removed nodes tested positive for testicular cancer.

He then completed two rounds of chemotherapy.

Reeve Declared Cancer-Free

Reeve said doctors declared him cancer-free on September 8.

He and Amanda are now moving forward with in vitro fertilisation (IVF).

Reeve described IVF as medically necessary for their plans to have children.

He said the couple was grateful that they still had the opportunity to build a family.

“The great joy is that we are going to be able to have children, our own children,” Reeve said.
