Summer House’s Jesse Solomon Has Been Open About His Testicular Cancer: Inside Health Scare and revealed that he’s a two-time cancer survivor

Summer House star Jesse Solomon opened up about his battle with testicular cancer during season 8 of the Bravo show. What has he said about his cancer battle and when did he go into remission?

Jesse revealed he is a two-time cancer survivor during a full cast dinner featured on the February 29, 2024, episode of Summer House. While it initially started as testicular cancer, doctors later learned that the cancer has spread to his stomach.

“Testicular cancer is a growth of cells that starts in the testicles. The testicles, which are also called testes, are in the scrotum,” according to The Mayo Clinic. “Testicular cancer isn’t a common type of cancer. It can happen at any age, but it happens most often between the ages of 15 and 45.”

The Bravo personality learned his diagnosis during a routine checkup in 2017 when he asked to be tested for sexually transmitted infections. He later learned he had been diagnosed with testicular cancer and had his testicle removed.

Jesse recalled feeling “totally fine” after the procedure, though said his doctors found cancer in the lymphnodes in his stomach one year later. The discovery meant that he had stage 2 testicular cancer.

“The first time I was diagnosed with cancer, it was weird because it was like, ‘Did I just have cancer?’ I just had a quick surgery,” he told his costars. “It was serious, obviously, but I didn’t feel like a cancer survivor.”

However, Jesse said he understood the severity of his cancer when he had to undergo four rounds of chemotherapy between July 2018 and September 2018. He then shared his 5-year checkup was scheduled for August 2023, which will be featured on the show.
