Frank
At the beginning of 2007, Frank Fagnano, 44, was a pretty happy guy. With a successful career as a recording engineer, drummer, and adjunct professor at William Paterson University, he had been recently married to the love of his life, and was living not only in the town in which he grew up, in northeastern New Jersey, but in the home where he had been born and raised. Things changed in March of that year when he noticed a small nodule on one of his testicles.
Dr. Carver
Frank's testicular cancer was diagnosed and surgically removed by Brett Carver, a urologic surgeon at Memorial Sloan-Kettering specializing in the treatment of prostate and testicular cancer. Dr. Carver has a special interest in the quality-of-life issues facing cancer survivors like Frank, examining how different therapies may impact these quality-of-life issues.
