Joshua recovering from Testicular Cancer surgery

[MeanSeanBean]

 Glad he's going to be ok. Reminder to everyone, if something ain't feeling right, go get checked.

 

 

 

[Coconuts]

Jesus, glad the removal went well. 

 

Goes to show that cancer doesn't give a fuck how healthy you are, given Joshua's a professional athlete, it can affect everyone. Better to be safe than sorry. 

[Integra250]

Wishing Dak all the best in his recovery.

 

Team wise, it looks like a spot may have opened up temporarily for Aman, PDG, Bains, or even Lekkerimaki.

Glad they caught it early. Hope he doesn’t go Lance Armstrong here.

I'd settle for Kessel.  Looking forward to seeing him completely recovered.

[Pears]

That's scary. Glad they caught it early. 

[Thundernuts]

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery!

[Canuck You]

This really sucks, I'm glad he discovered it quick..Pretty big loss for the Nucks but health is wealth. Hope him and Demmer come back better then ever.

[Ghostsof1915]

Two words.

 

F*ck Cancer!!!!!

[Jaimito]

Terrible news but glad he got it treated early.  

 

Testicular cancer incidence is highest among those ages 20 to 39.  When in doubt, get it checked guys. 

 

Phil Kessel had it and got it treated in time during his rookie year.   Had a great career since winning two cups.

Glad you're OK Dak!

 

Never be embarrassed or ashamed to go to the Dr if something is wrong or odd or off with your tools boys.

 

Get well soon!

[LionofJudah]

Well fuck cancer. Hope he makes a full healthy recovery. Glad they got it early.

[Screw]

Wishing you a speedy recovery sir.

Illnesses are strange. A lot of regular people who aren’t in the best shape, like myself got Covid and have recovered, but an athlete in tip top shape, like Brandon Sutter, had his playing career ended by it. I wish he still was still playing and hopefully DJ heals up soon.

Glad it sounds like they got it early.

 

But is it too much to ask that we just have a quiet offseason for once?

 

Goalie injuries, goalie coach controversy, Boeser with his blood clots, and now this.

Yeah both my parents died from it, nasty thing to be sure! 

[hockeyville88]

So glad they caught it early and were able to give him the treatment he needs. Best of luck to him as he continues to recover. Looking forward to seeing him back on the ice soon. Fuck cancer. Thoughts are with anyone and everyone who is battling this awful disease or any health issue

[elvis15]

Glad it was caught early. Be mindful of your health and check these things, men and women both. Check them yourself at least, but feel free to let others help!

[Slegr]

Glad it all sounds like he got ahead of it. I look forward to his safe, healthy return.

We are in a canucks vacuum. You can find stories similar to what you mentioned for most teams during most years.

Injuries that cant be fixed with surgery, blood clots, and cancer?  Only team dealing with more is Columbus.

[the destroyer of worlds]

Let's hope he gets well soon.  

[Hammertime]

Just happy they caught it early. 

[Drakrami]

Well the Sprong signing makes more sense now. But why trade away Podkolzin then.... 

[Sneakystink]

Had it when I was 19. Saying should be the same for him as it was for me. " My one is bigger than most guys two" 

First surgery was the removal, the second one to remove a couple lymph nodes was tough. Luckily it didn't spread and I hope he's in the same predicament. 

Need him out there but health comes first
