Greg Price was an engineer, pilot, and athlete who died of complications after testicular cancer surgery in 2012 in Canada. A review of his case found missed faxes, follow-ups, and botched data sharing, ultimately costing this vibrant 31-year-old Alberta man his life.

All of the missteps in his case took 407 days from his first diagnosis until he died.

His sister, Teri Price, is the executive producer of the 30-minute film Falling through the Cracks: Greg's Story, which was released in 2018. She is fighting to improve the Canadian healthcare system, which she says failed her brother and continues to fail to change.

The Max Mallory Foundation shares this episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer, in which Teri shares Greg's story and her family's efforts to improve the Canadian healthcare system. As they began working on the film, they established Greg's Wings.

In 2019, Ariz Bhimani was 20 years old, a civil engineering student in Canada, and then diagnosed with testicular cancer. And as you will learn in this discussion with Ariz, he hated wearing underwear.

He continued his studies through his cancer journey, which included an orchiectomy, chemotherapy, and recurrent cancer. Now, he's in remission.

Throughout his treatment, Ariz experienced immense physical pain and mental stress. Yet, one idea kept surfacing in his brain. He hated wearing underwear.

He used his engineering skills to create BRFZY, a company that sells recovery boxer briefs with precision compression and support. He'll tell us about that product and his journey to creating it.

Managing testicular cancer demands resilience that men often don't realize they possess. Michael J. Rovito, Ph.D., an associate professor at the University of Central Florida, adds another factor to resilience: connectedness.

He shares some insights from his investigatory project on connectedness or disconnection, which could be defined, he says, as "no one really knows me."
This feeling of social isolation becomes even more palpable for young men navigating testicular cancer. Dr. Rovito talks about the challenges young people face, often without the realization they are disconnected from people and social interactions.

A familiar voice on the Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer podcast, Dr. Rovito, has shared his research outcomes and interests before with our listeners. He specializes in testicular cancer self-examination and testicular cancer in general, male health, behavioral change, and informative research that includes theory, instrument development, and intervention design. He is also a Certified Health Education Specialist.
