Olympic ski champion Svindal reported on cancer

norwegian skier Axel Lund Svindal He said doctors diagnosed him with cancer.

“I felt a change in my body. I wasn’t sure what it was, so I should be worried. But I decided to check. I went to the doctor, was quickly transferred to the hospital, where the doctor’s suspicions were confirmed. Testicular cancer.

Analyzes, scanning and operation – everything happened very quickly. And already after the first week I knew that the forecasts were very good. All thanks to that first decision to go to the doctor as soon as I suspected something was wrong.

Did you know that testicular cancer is the most common type of cancer in men under 50? And that often the patients are under 20 years old. I didn’t know it, but now I know it. I also know that men don’t know how to talk about health issues. And sometimes that’s exactly what it takes to gain knowledge or make the right decision to go to the doctor, the 39-year-old wrote on social media.

Svindal is a two-time Olympic champion, five-time world champion in various disciplines and a two-time overall World Cup winner. The Norwegian retired in February 2019.
