RIGBY – A Rigby man with a rare form of cancer is hoping for a full recovery following an invasive surgery, and a local entertainment venue is holding a benefit concert on his behalf.
Mitch Hollandsworth was diagnosed with Pure Seminoma in 2017, a type of testicular cancer that accounts for about 1% of cancers in men, according to BioMed Central. Hollandsworth returned home early Sunday morning after five days of chemotherapy treatment at Huntsman Cancer Institute.
In March, doctors determined the cancer had spread to his lymph nodes. As part of his treatment, Hollandsworth had an invasive surgery called a retroperitoneal lymph node dissection that involves removing lymph nodes from vital organs near the kidneys and small intestines.
“They basically cut you from here to here,” Hollandsworth says, pointing from his mid abdomen to his groin. “They open you up and remove all the lymph nodes they need to (before putting the organs back and sewing you back up).”
It’s the most invasive surgery Hollandsworth has ever had. Though he’s trying to stay positive, he tells EastIdahoNews.com the procedure has really knocked him down.
“I’ve done things similar to this before, but this one must be a little bit harder because it’s definitely affected me more,” he says.
Mitch and his wife share their story in the video above.
