Testicular cancer survivor is delighted to be “living in cancer free land” a year after diagnosis | Newstalk

At the time he was living at home with his parents in Swords because of the pandemic; previously he had been living in London and although he went to see his GP in Ireland first, they recommended that he get his treatment in Britain where it would be entirely cost free:

“It was a very difficult decision to be in and go away and be treated for cancer or stay at home and be treated for cancer,” he recalled. “No one can really prepare you for those decisions… But I’m sure that whether I stayed at home or whether I was here, I would have been treated just as well.Fortunately for David, he had kept himself in excellent condition during the early stages of the pandemic:

“I was in a really good shape physically and mentally, I’m a life coach, so I spent a lot of time online doing all of that throughout 2020, so I was in a good place mentally as well… So I was in tiptop shape and so I think in essence that prepared me for anything that came my way.”
