Player Watch #1 - Jesse Hogan - traded to Freo - #fistedforever

[Simon_Says]

If one of the few positive things we take out of this situation is that at least he found the diagnosis early, that could give him the best chance of removal.
Much Like Roughy in the sense, get the prognosis early, get back to life.

 

[Anythings_sipposible]

I know that The Saints and The Dees have a bit of a rivalry going on at the moment, a healthy one I'd like to think, but that aside, just came in here to wish your boy luck. Is an absolute beast of a player, and will be for many years to come once he beats this. Hope that he's back ASAP, ripping teams to shreads. Will only say this once (well I was saying it when ypu were playing Hawthorn, but that didnt go too well) Carn The Dees

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

All the best Jesse Hogan.

Good luck with the treatment and recovery. I'm sure it'll go well.










Fingers crossed he'll be back to help continue our massive winning streak against you guys in the next season or two. No sympathy for the rest of youse this weekend either.

He'll see you in Hobart

Was there actually any illness that prevented him from playing on Saturday then? Or was he made aware of the diagnosis last week, and that news is what prevented him from playing?

Reported it to club doc Tuesday, got tested and found out Thursday. Didn't play because of that.

Serious question for past sufferers or anyone in the know...

What does it do to the status of your plums? Do you have to get sperm frozen if you're undergoing chemo and want kids later?

It may cause infertility, it just depends on far it has progressed. After treatment you can get your sperm frozen, if you decide. The recovery rate for testicular cancer now is close to 100%.Jesse should make a full recovery and so young that a great career is in front of him. The one thing I would doubt is that he is playing football in 4-8 weeks. He has already lost his father this year and along with the treatment, there is more important things to consider than playing football.

 

[Keyza]

Terrible news.
Sam Rowe had the same thing, it was found early and has made a full recovery and came back to footy.
I am am sure he will be fine.
All the best to him.

If the other testis is normal and chemo isn't needed then getting sperm frozen is optional (there is an annual cost to the facility to maintain storage). If he undergoes chemotherapy for stage 1 seminoma it is to lower the relapse rate of the cancer. Sperm storage is recommended then.

Stage 1 seminoma has an approximate relapse rate of 12% but there are risk factors that are looked for under the microscope which, if present, can increase the relapse rate to over 32%. A single dose of carboplatin chemotherapy can drop the relapse rate to around 3-5%.

It's usually a joint decision between the oncologist and patient on the risks and benefits of adding chemo for stage 1 (meaning not spread elsewhere) seminoma. The microscope findings will be important, as there are also non seminoma testicular cancers that have different treatment and outcome.

Happy to take PM questions.

 

[Aramis]

God, absolutely shocked by the news.
My deepest wishes for Hoges and the club/supporters who I know who will be 100% behind him.
Stay strong guys, as a Hawks fan and what we went through the last couple, its bloody tough.... All the best moving forward.

 

[dees arent rabble]

All the best big fella. Hope you beat this horrible s**t and come back bigger and better than ever

 

[Sando22]

Reported it to club doc Tuesday, got tested and found out Thursday. Didn't play because of that.

And told the playing group Friday apparently.

 

[Viney]

Terrible news for the big fella

He can't take a trick this year

I hope he just takes the time off he needs to get himself fit and healthy (mentally and physically) before he considers footy

 

[booshboy]

According the his manager on Triple M, his operation went "extremely well" Jesse is now awake and resting. Great news.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

And told the playing group Friday apparently.

I don't like the idea of playing groups trying to win for someone else (ie after a death) but gee I reckon a bit of that desperation we showed on Saturday was in Jesse's honour

 

[Benj7]

All the best champion hopefully gets treated and the cancer doesn't rear its ugly head.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Just popped over to wish Jesse everything of the best for a speedy and compete recovery.
Every AFL fan will be barracking for you.

I had one plum removed and some sperm frozen just in case but most of the time unless you get chemo which can effect the sperm count you can have kids as per normal as the other plum compensates for the missing one.

I was told not to do anything heavy for 4 to 6 weeks in case of getting a hernia from the incision area.

 

[Toump Ass]

All the best Jesse!

Edit: Did I post this already? Nevermind. I still mean it <3

 

[Freomaniac]

shocked to hear he sad news, hope he recovers

 

[tigerwill]

Good luck to the young fella. I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery. Difficult times for him and his family given their recent tribulations.

 

[tribey]

Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery <3

 

[HAWKS HEROES]
