Young German Jan Dieteren of Leopard Development Team has been diagnosed with testicular cancer. The 22 year old was diagnosed in January and has underwent surgery.
“I am in the best hands and confident to win this fight," Dieteren said. "The whole team supports me and encourages me.”
Team Manager Markus Zingen confirmed they will give Dieteren time to recover. “We as a team are fully behind Jan. We will give him all the time he needs to recover well and we will try to help him where we can.”
Dieteren faces ten weeks of chemo, but the doctors at the Heidelberg University Hospital have already said he has a very good chance of making a full recovery.
