\n\t\u201cGood Morning America<\/a>\u201d anchor Will Reeve<\/a> has revealed that he was diagnosed with testicular cancer earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to People<\/a>, the 34-year-old son of \u201cSuperman\u201d star Christopher Reeve received the cancer diagnosis in the spring, which then spread to lymph nodes in his abdomen. Reeve is now cancer-free, as of a check-up on Sept. 8.<\/p>\n

\n\tReeve was inspired to share his story with the world by his parents. In 1995, when Will was 2 years old, his father was thrown from a horse and paralyzed from the neck down. He became an advocate for spinal cord injury awareness and research alongside his wife, Dana Reeve, launching the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. Christopher died in 2004 at the age of 52, and Dana died two years later from lung cancer at the age of 44. Will paid tribute to his parents alongside his siblings Matthew and Alexandra in the documentary \u201cSuper\/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story,\u201d which released in 2024.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was raised to share one\u2019s struggles if, in doing so, that might help others,\u201d Reeve told People. \u201cWatching my parents up close take the adversity they faced in their lives and repurpose it into something hopeful left a major impact on my life and how I try to live it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tReeve said that he first discovered a lump on one of his testicles in the shower, but \u201cassumed it was nothing or it would go away.\u201d But his wife, Amanda Dubin Reeve, urged him to go to the doctor and get an ultrasound. Cancer was detected and in May, he got the cancerous testicle removed. More testing then revealed that the cancer had spread to lymph nodes in his abdomen. Reeve then underwent a six-hour surgery in June to remove them and began chemotherapy. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI have felt so loved and supported and rooted for by family, friends and strangers alike for my entire life,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd that\u2019s a big part of why I wanted to speak about this. I\u2019m going to be fine. But this was a heck of a chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThough it was difficult, Reeve said the whole experience made him feel closer to his late parents. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe irony is not lost on me that 20 years after my mom died of lung cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering, there I was in the same building getting treated for cancer,\u201d Reeve said. \u201cI was experiencing life as each of my parents at the same time. Because I was a cancer patient at Memorial Sloan Kettering, I was getting a firsthand experience at what my mother went through. Simultaneously, I was learning more about what it was like to be my dad in the final nine years of his life, where he had my mom and our family taking care of him. And there I was with my wife, who, since the day I met her, has reminded me in so many ways of my mom, now playing the role of wife and caregiver.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tReeve said he\u2019d often head from \u201cGood Morning America\u201d to the hospital for chemo, and took a few days off after each session to recover. He finished his final round on July 31. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy colleagues at ABC are like family to me and have been with me every step of the way,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m fortunate that I caught this early. Yes, I had to jump through some flaming hoops to get to the other side, but it could have been much worse had I ignored it or delayed going to the doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n
