Thanks to a cancellation, Mitch was able to undergo surgery to remove a tumor from his testicle, less than 24 hours after it was identified.

Mitch smiles for the camera, against a gray backdrop.

Mitch was diagnosed with testicular cancer following an ultrasound. His emergency surgery was performed by Dr. Wozniak, Urologist, at West Valley Medical Center to remove the tumor.

"I was there at 5:30, 6:00 in the morning and most people at 6:00 in the morning aren't very friendly. But the staff there was great, and they helped us out — because of them, I'm here today."
