Reasons to HOPE, with 9-year lung cancer survivor Buddy Cutler

For today's episode, I was honored to spend time talking to Ed “Buddy” Cutler, who has been thriving for nearly a decade with metastatic lung cancer.

Yep, Buddy was diagnosed nine years ago. Thanks to his self-advocacy and a phase one clinical trial, Buddy has far outlived his prognosis. He has become a beloved advocate for cancer organizations, including the LUNGevity Foundation. He has also made a lot of friends through Moffitt Cancer Center.

A native of Tampa, Fla., Buddy is a proud father and grandfather, a US Navy veteran, and a (mostly) retired CPA and tax consultant.

In this episode, Buddy makes this indisputable comment about screening for lung cancer for people over 50: “If you meet the qualifications, your screening won’t cost a dime, and it could save your life”

He also makes this statement, which is up for debate: “Tampa is the home of the best Cuban sandwich in the world.”

About the Podcast

Man Up to Cancer
The show built for men facing cancer, and the people who love us!
I'm your host, Trevor Maxwell. I'm a stage IV colon cancer survivor, and I've got a message for other men: You don't have to go through cancer alone.

Every week on the Man Up to Cancer podcast, you can expect raw, unfiltered conversations about men, cancer, and our experiences. My guests will be other patients, survivors, advocates, and friends from #cancerland.

We'll tackle the topics of grief, pain, and the physical suck-fest of cancer. But .. PLOT TWIST.. we're also going to joke, laugh, and have fun.
