Jim Hohman had a terrible cough after he ran the 1986 Boston Marathon. He went to the doctor, who also decided to conduct a general physical. That exam saved his life, Jim says, because the doctor found a lump on his testicle. He visited the urologist on Saturday and his orchiectomy surgery on Monday. After a few months, his blood tests showed a potential return of the cancer. It did return, and Jim managed chemo treatments.

He shares his story of running the 1988 Boston Marathon - after treatment for testicular cancer, getting married, having a daughter, raising his daughter as a single dad, managing a career, volunteering at the local YMCA and other organizations...and enjoying life.
