NEW YORK CITY — Will Reeve, a 34-year-old anchor for Good Morning America and correspondent, announced he is cancer-free following treatment for testicular cancer. He received clean scans confirming the result on September 8, 2026.

Reeve detailed his diagnosis of embryonal carcinoma and subsequent treatment regimen to raise awareness about testicular cancer detection. He said he was relieved to announce that they had arrived at their destination and that this cancer was in the rearview mirror, but added, "But what a journey."

Further testing revealed that the cancer had spread to lymph nodes in Reeve's abdomen. Doctors found that 95% of the testicular cancer was embryonal carcinoma. Reeve underwent an orchiectomy in May 2026 to remove the cancerous testicle.

In June 2026, Reeve underwent a six-hour retroperitoneal lymph node dissection to remove dozens of lymph nodes. The procedure took place on June 10, 2026. He began two cycles of chemotherapy in early July 2026 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.

Reeve's chemotherapy sessions involved two hours of treatment and seven hours of cold capping to prevent hair loss. He experienced side effects including bone pain, ringing ears, night sweats, blood clots, and headaches. Reeve completed his final round of chemotherapy on July 31, 2026.

Reeve credited his support system for helping him through the process. "My colleagues at ABC are like family to me and have been with me every step of the way." He also acknowledged the broader community. "I have felt so loved and supported and rooted for by family, friends and strangers alike for my entire life."

Reeve explained his motivation for sharing his experience publicly. "I was raised to share one’s struggles if, in doing so, that might help others." He reflected on his family's history with adversity. "Watching my parents up close take the adversity they faced in their lives and repurpose it into something hopeful left a major impact on my life and how I try to live it."

Reeve emphasized the importance of early detection. "I’m fortunate that I caught this early. Yes, I had to jump through some flaming hoops to get to the other side, but it could have been much worse had I ignored it or delayed going to the doctor." Testicular cancer has a 95% five-year survival rate when detected early, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

The disease predominantly affects men aged 15–44, with over half of cases occurring in individuals in their 20s and 30s, per a 2026 New York Post article. Reeve addressed the awkwardness of discussing the condition. "It's slightly awkward to talk about just because of what we're really discussing here, but that you end up okay, almost always."

Reeve described the initial reaction to the news. He said the diagnosis was a shock and the treatments were a slog. He characterized the overall experience bluntly.

"The diagnosis was a shock and the treatments were a slog." He concluded his statement by noting the intensity of the period. "And that’s a big part of why I wanted to speak about this. I’m going to be fine. But this was a heck of a chapter."
