What Happened To Theodore?
Shea Theodore has been open about his experience with testicular cancer during the offseason.
He also wrote in an essay for The Player’s Tribune about his cancer and said that he only knew about it after playing with Team Canada for the IIHF World Championship.
While he was preparing for the tough competition in the tournament, he was diagnosed with cancer.
During the blood test, his blood test resulted in high levels of the hormone hCG.
Despite the health issue, the defenseman played for Canada and finished the game with a silver medal. Theodore posted 2 goals and 7 points in 10 games in the tournament.
He underwent surgery to have a five-millimeter by five-millimeter mass removed from his testicle.
Eventually, after his successful surgery and early recovery, the defenseman was traded from the Anaheim Ducks to the Golden Knights.
After that, the player was invited to the ceremonial puck drop on November 21, 2019, during the Golden Knights home game.
Moreover, his grandmother, Darlington, was also diagnosed with breast cancer and treated at a specialized cancer center.
Shea wants to raise awareness among the people about early detention and the test and recommends that they talk to the doctor if they notice any changes in their bodies.
