Surendra Ananth Traveled to India for his RPLND

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Surendra Ananth opens up about his battle with stage 3 testicular cancer and the unexpected path it took him on.

With symptoms that didn’t point to his testicles at first, Surendra’s diagnosis came late—forcing him to make tough decisions about treatment. From navigating Malaysia’s healthcare system to traveling to India for his RPLND, he shares the physical and emotional hurdles he faced along the way. Growing up in a culture where men’s health isn’t openly discussed, Surendra now dedicates himself to raising awareness and helping others find the information he wishes he had.
