Capital FM’s Chris Stark, 38, diagnosed with testicular cancer and undergoing chemo

Chris Stark, a host of Capital FM’s breakfast program, has revealed that he has testicular cancer. The broadcaster, who is renowned for hosting the morning show and BBC Radio 1, confirmed his diagnosis through a routine visit to his GP.

The 38-year-old has also been receiving operations and chemotherapy to prevent the illness from returning. After making a routine trip to my local doctors, Chris revealed that I have testicular cancer around a couple of months ago. I had surgery a while ago, and I’ve been receiving chemotherapy over the radio and podcasts for the most part to stop anything from returning.

I feel like an idiot that I didn’t notice this sooner, so I want to share it. And despite being effectively cured and being discovered early, I’m hoping any bloke reading this will consider checking themselves today. Or see a doctor if you don’t know what symptoms might be.

This cancer is extremely treatable if caught early. Men between the ages of 18 and 49 experience the most commotion. I also believe that talking about this topic is difficult, but I’m willing to put my now-one ball on the line if it encourages discussion between men, makes people check themselves, and potentially saves lives.

Chris continued, “I want to thank my incredible family, who supported me and encouraged me to share what has happened. I want to thank my brilliant friends and coworkers for their continued support of my family. And of course, I want to say a huge thank you to the amazing doctors, nurses, and hospital staff, especially those who care about cancer. I also want to express my thoughts and prayers to those who are cancer-positive.

Check your balls, please. Chris xx PS Getting more and more energetic into the radio tomo. His colleagues and friends have flooded his post with messages of support, saying, “He received many well wishes and support for Chris.” Congratulations on spreading the word, and glad you’re on the mend, said Radio 1’s Jack Saunders.

James Brittain-McVey, the guitarist and singer of the Vamps, said, “Sending you love mate, brilliant you’re brave enough to talk about it, I’m sure it’ll help many other men. Thanks for sharing, bro, and glad you’re all okay, Melvin Odoom. Clara Amfo was added. “Sending you so much love, and it’s wonderful that you’re doing so well and brilliantly you shared this message,” penned Gabriel Roslin. I sincerely love you.

Gabby Logan, “So glad your outcome is positive and well done for sharing the message.” According to the NHS, a lump or swelling in the testicle, the testicles growing, and a pain or ache in the scrotum or the scrotum feeling heavy, firm, or hard are typical symptoms of testicular cancer.

Additionally, they include weight loss without trying, a cough, swallowing difficulties, or a sore and swollen chest. The cancer’s treatment depends on the individual’s overall health, the type and size of the tumor, and the individual’s spread.

You may also receive chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but typically, the cancer and the testicle are removed.
