- Marty Uhlik - Taylor, Michigan
- Diagnosed at age 39 (Jan 97) with Stage III Seminoma. Treated with chemo.
Born with an undescended testicle - although it was so atrophied that the
doctors only a found a dried up object resembling a raisin, which they left
behind. When cancer was diagnosed in the normal one, they also found it in
the undescended one. Now receiving hormone replacement. I am available to
volunteer as a speaker at and for cancer related functions. Humor is important:
Although I am a "bonafide" eunuch, I still have plenty of balls.
I just carry them in my pockets now. Married with two kids.
