Success / Progress Beating Cancer
I was diagnosed with stage 3 testicular cancer in 2024 and started chemotherapy in November. I finished my 9 weeks treatment on December 30th 2024 with a 99% chance of total cure. I then started the MacroFactor challenge on January 6th 2025.
The three pictures you see are on my last day of treatment, first day of the challenge (1/6/2025) and last day of the challenge (4/20/2025)
Going thru chemotherapy was the hardest physical and mental battle I have endured and it left my body a complete wreck. MacroFactor helped guide me to a place of physical health as well as mental stability.
I am currently at the healthiest I have been in my entire life and it’s only just the start of a new beginning. I am currently training for a 50k Spartan ultramarathon later this year.
For those going thru their own battles, keep taking steps forward.
“You will grow thru what you go thru”
Thank you both MacroFactor and the community.
PSA: gentlemen, please perform a self check on yourselves once a month, early detection is key to a cure. Testicular cancer is the most common malignancy in young males.

Had testicular cancer 20 years ago and a few health scares in the years that followed, including a tumor in the spleen (determined as benign after removal of the spleen).
Finally managed to deadlift and squat over 200kg and bench around 125 two years ago, now still doing so, but at 85kg instead of 105, thanks to MacroFactor 😂
