He then visited his doctor, who found a lump on his side and immediately referred him to a local hospital for an ultrasound.

Geldard said: “Before I went to Kavos, I’d been getting this weird pain on and off, but I didn’t think much of it.” “I went to the GP, but because I was going to the gym it was just put down to muscle pain.”
吉爾達德說，「在我去卡沃斯之前，我斷斷續續感覺到有奇怪的疼痛，但我沒想太多，後來去看了家庭醫生，但因為當時我有在健身，所以醫生說應該是肌肉疼痛的關係。」

“But when I was referred to the local hospital, scans showed that I had a tumor that was spreading into my lungs,” he said. “I was told that it was cancer — but they weren’t sure what type — and that I would probably need chemotherapy.”
他說：「但當我被轉診到地區醫院時，超音波掃描顯示我的腫瘤已擴散到肺部，我被告知得了癌症，但他們不確定是什麼類型的癌症，還告訴我可能需要化療。」

Geldard was then referred to the Teenage Cancer Trust Unit in Cambridge, where he was asked to provide a sample for a pregnancy test.
隨後吉爾達德被轉診到劍橋的「青少年癌症信託基金會」，在那裡他被要求提供驗孕棒檢查的樣本，
The teenage boy was given the test because certain types of cancer produce the same hCG hormone produced when a female body is developing a placenta.
因為睪丸癌會分泌hCG賀爾蒙，女性體內胎盤發育時也會分泌相同的hCG荷爾蒙。
hormone(n.)賀爾蒙placenta(n.)胎盤

吉爾達德告訴英國地鐵報，「我想傳遞的訊息是——得癌症不再等於是被宣判死刑。」
