Managing testicular cancer demands resilience that men often don't realize they possess. Michael J. Rovito, Ph.D ., an associate professor at the University of Central Florida, adds another factor to resilience: connectedness. He shares some insights from his investigatory project on connectedness or disconnection, which could be defined, he says, as "no one really knows me." This feeling of social isolation becomes even more palpable for young men navigating testicular cancer. Dr. Rovito talks about the challenges young people face, often without the realization they are disconnected from people and social interactions. A familiar voice on the Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer podcast, Dr. Rovito, has shared his research outcomes and interests before with our listeners. He specializes in testicular cancer self-examination and testicular cancer in general, male health, behavioral change, and informative research that includes theory, instrument development, and intervention design. He is also a Certified Health Education Specialist.
