@@JK-zt4ym not them and I don't intend to respond for them but I know someone - the symptoms were pain during urinating and ejaculation. Pain is usually not a good sign when it comes to disease present in the body.
I had stage 3 testicular cancer last year. It spread to my lymph nodes and my lungs. I was devastated. I remember I checked myself one day, and I was fine, The next week, I had a pain in my testicle, and one day later, it ballooned in size and got hard like a rock. I knew something was wrong. I went to the Dr and sure enough, it was cancer. I didn't have the RPLND surgery Tom talks about but I had to do Chemo for 3 months and it was the worst experience I ever had. Apparently, the chemo got rid of everything which I am very grateful for but still under watch from my Oncologist for another year. I know what he means when he says hes a different person, I feel that way also. The old me is gone and have a new outlook on life. If you're a male, DO NOT ignore any signs of something wrong down there, Just go to the Dr.
Had the same stage, chemo length, and spread almost 10 years ago. Had to get part of my lung removed though. The chemo gets rough, and the brain fog after completing chemo can last pretty long. It took well over a year to feel like my brain was close to where it was before. I used to get pretty frustrated and upset about that. Now, I'm probably in the best shape of my life due to how health concise I've become. It does change you, for sure. Definitely wish I checked my balls though. Kids, check your balls.
@@NocturnalXS Wow. Yeah thanks for the info. My feet are still numb and I hope they will get better soon and I get random pains in random parts of my body and it always scares me its cancer again or something. The more sleep I get the better and I notice I drink a lot of water still. How often do you get lab work done? Im getting lab work and a CT scan every 6 months still.
I had testicular cancer and spent 4 months of doctors telling me it was everything but that. Because of it I had stage 2, in my lymph nodes. Chemo happened but it gave me a sense of purpose.. a sense of life. I’m sorry Tom went through the pain of surgery to check if it spread when it just took a CT scan for me.
The Tom Green Show was one of my favorite shows back in the day! The Monica Lewinsky episode was so awesome! He treated her like a human being which was super rare back then. Nobody was doing that! Tom Green is a real one!
Hearing Tom Greene speak like a normal human being (outside of his characters) is new. Thanks for sharing, good luck Tom! 🧑🌾"look at me Daddy, I'm a farmer Daddy!" 🤦♂I'm dying.🤣
I had testicular cancer at the same time Tom did and also went through a RPLND. He was treated at USC/Norris Cancer Center and I believe he had the same doctor--Dr. John Stein, RIP--the best doctor I've ever had. Tom was lucky enough to not need chemo but I did. I didn't have the enduring pain from the RPLND that he describes and I don't know anybody else who did but I did have other complications. For him, going with the RPLND was elective but gave him piece of mind that the disease hadn't progressed beyond the testicle. Otherwise, the surveillance protocol would've been brutal for the first few years and he would've constantly been wondering if the cancer would creep up.
Tom you are living in a healing environment.. I would guess anyone with a cancer diagnosis suffers from a form of anxiety.. PTSD related.. ❤ Thanks For the interview!
I had it in 2018 and I didn’t really get the full-on cancer “scare” because they made it feel like it was a routine kind of thing and super easy to treat. Like the only way to die from it is if you ignore it and don’t get treated, which some people actually do. I was more worried about long term effects from chemotherapy but I don’t think I really have any. Seems weird to think that I ever went through it. I had the surgery and chemo but no lymph node biopsy because the already found it in the MRI. But I was kicking ass at my very physical job only six months later.
Testicular cancer is one of the most survivable cancers out there....IF you catch it early. Most of the guys who die from it are those ignore the symptoms, feel ashamed to ask for help, or are genuinely confused. And it's heartbreaking that that's the case. I caught my own symptoms suuuuper early because I was already kind of a hypochondriac with high health anxiety. My treatment consisted of an outpatient orchiectomy (the "shucking it out" as Tom said) that was about as invasive and routine as an appendectomy and I was back to office job work less than a week later. But the anxiety that follows any cancer diagnosis can put an immense burden on anyone. Every following scan brings back all of the feelings, even years out of being in remission. Sometimes, the actual treatment is the easiest part.
I don’t know Tom or drew. But from an outsides view. I want to say I can see drew in that ranch with Tom. But like I said. I don’t know their relationship. But tom seems well now in his grand ranch. Good for him. And she has her show.
They are almost useless in that regard. You have to basically diagnose yourself and narrow it down and hound the doctors and spend all your money and time until you get diagnosed and treated
I had testicular cancer i caught it just in time before it spread. No chemo no radiation. Almost 4 years cancer free so far
What were the symptoms
@@JK-zt4ym not them and I don't intend to respond for them but I know someone - the symptoms were pain during urinating and ejaculation. Pain is usually not a good sign when it comes to disease present in the body.
How was it treated?
How did you know you had it
Same here. It was quite obvious with me, once I went to the doctor they got the BALL rolling and 3 days later, I had 1 less nut.
Never realized how real and well spoken this guy actually is. As well as being very easy to listen to. Im legitimately glad I turned this on.
You should check it his UA-cam channel. He's just chilling on his farm with his dog
Who would have thought, Tom Green is the most down to earth celebrity of the 90's.
He's awesome.
Tom is a successful human being, who also happens to be a great comedian and actor.
I didn't know this. Tom Green pioneered so much. Was obsessed as a kid in the 90's. Glad he's still here.

Uhhhh…your doctors told you that cancer that’s spread to your lymph nodes is stage TWO??
I hope Tom green is doing better and others who are recovering from cancer

Use to watch the Tom green show when I was in high school, loved that show
Used to*
It was a typo I didn’t care to fix , I’ll bake you some cookies for your efforts
I’m glad you survived Tom! You are a great example for all of us! Live long and prosper.
_Thanks for watching, bud_
Tom you are living in a healing environment.. I would guess anyone with a cancer diagnosis suffers from a form of anxiety.. PTSD related.. ❤ Thanks For the interview!
Thank you for the great interviews, Graham.
fantastic story and also an excellent job at communicating for others who may go through a similar situation
His interviews on Rogan are so great, love Tom. He is a pioneer and really enjoyed his journey
Can't stand that right winger
Tom is an awesome person.
Always seemed down to earth. I’m from the Ottawa region. He completely sounds like a local.

I'm so used to hearing him constantly cracking jokes that it's kinda weird to hear a normal conversation. He's a good dude. Glad he's still around.
I don’t wonder why he would like who he is. Always been hilarious. Seems like a really good dude.
Great regular real guy, his avant-garde comedy was epic at that time and still is

Seems like this guy has really really changed from what he used to be
when are the going to discuss his singing career with the black crowes?
Kinda strange that tom and norm both got cancer in their 20s, both canadian comedians from ottawa
He kept it very low key , never heard about the cancer extremely glad his still alive.
I remember he did a special about his diagnosis. I think he even made a song encouraging men to check their balls.
He kept it far from low key 😂
Terrible English.
If he died. We all be like we lost a great one
I really thought this was a prank at the time.
tubing. tubing. tubing. toooobing. tooooobing.
PTSD is a bitch
God id. withyou
All that unease... and that is just from one man who was making decent money. Imagiine if that happened to a poor working man with wife and kids.
wu tang. .
Wu tang forever
Doctors are terrible at diagnosis, maybe AI will help
Well… *I’ve* never missed a testicular cancer. Maybe I’m a genius? Or… there’s an alternative explanation.
They are almost useless in that regard. You have to basically diagnose yourself and narrow it down and hound the doctors and spend all your money and time until you get diagnosed and treated
