Nick Venegoni is the host the Queer Spirit podcast. A few months into beginning the podcast, in July of 2018, he discovered that he had stage one testicular cancer. With the support of doctors and nurses, integrative practitioners, family and friends, he made it through surgery and nine weeks of chemo therapy.

In part one of this topic, to kick off the second season the podcast, he shares the story of his journey from diagnosis to completing chemotherapy.

"It feels important to me to tell this story because I don't really hear these stories being told, especially in a queer context. I hope it will help others to understand what it's like to go through cancer, and others to feel less alone in their own healing journeys."
