Tim Quinn, the former creative director of Armani Beauty, hosted his 10th annual Nurse Appreciation event at Massachusetts General Hospital on May 13When Tim Quinn started having sharp, shooting pains down his leg in 2007, he brushed it off as sciatica.
After a round of surgery to remove what doctors believed was a tumor in his sacrum, Quinn woke up in a hospital room to find out that they hadn’t been able to remove the tumor after all. And, doctors didn't even know what it was. They sent him back home, where he just got “sicker and sicker,” he says.
"Dr. Lee called me at home — this is on a Friday — and he's like, 'You know what? I am 99 percent sure it's testicular cancer manifesting in your sacrum. And we don't use the term loosely — but we can cure this.'"Quinn checked into Mass General on Monday with “lamps, blankets, my own bed, everything you could think of, because I didn't want to be in a hospital, but I trusted in Dr. Lee and the staff there.”.
To combat the physical effects of cancer treatment, Quinn would often lock himself in the bathroom to put on self-tanner while he was at Mass General.
