Losing a Nut, Finding a Calling: How Testicular Cancer Made Me a Nurse
When you go in for testicular cancer surgery, do they offer you a scrotal facelift while they're down there? We ask the important questions. This week is a wild ride through Taaha's diagnosis in grade 12. Taha talks about the pressure to be strong for his family, how the other testicle "kicks up into overdrive" to pick up the slack, and the incredible nurses who inspired him to change his life's path. Now a registered nurse and a fierce advocate for the Canadian Cancer Society, Taaha is using his experience to help others and expose the staggering out-of-pocket costs that come with our "free" healthcare system.You can watch this entire episode over on YouTube.Follow Sickboy on Instagram, TikTok and Discord!
