Nathan Adrian, the five-time gold medallist, received a call from his doctor confirming the diagnosis of testicular cancer as he was making his way to practice. He went on to lift weights and then jumped into the pool because swimming was his forte.
Nathan took immediate action and saw a urologist and oncologist in a matter of days. Nathan was training hard for his fourth summer games soon after having his tumor removed surgically, but at night he combed through studies to figure out the best course of action. Aggressive cancer cells were found in the pathology report, and Nathan had a number of therapy choices. He examined the factors and possibilities that science might provide with great attention. He felt confident in his choice to undergo a laparoscopic lymph node dissection and an intensive surveillance program because of decades of research on cancer.
With haste, Nathan went back to his rigorous training regimen and workout to put on weight and strength. He led Team USA to victory in the 4x100m freestyle relay at the World Championships in a matter of months.
Nathan, who found his foundation in swimming, took to heart his coach's advice to "control your controllable, and block the rest." That motto got him through training, competition, cancer, and other challenges. Nathan and his teammates must have been devastated when the epidemic forced the cancellation of the summer games in Tokyo, but he handled it well. Nathan credits his ability to bounce back from his cancer experience with having a newfound understanding of what matters most right now.
Currently, Nathan promotes men's health and early screening when he isn't teaching swim classes or preparing for additional gold medals. Science, in his opinion, holds the answer to curing cancer without compromising life expectancy or quality of life..
