Chadwick Boseman kept his cancer private. That was his choice, and I support it.

I’ve heard people say that Chadwick Boseman had an obligation to speak up about his cancer, and that he failed. 

F#ck that.

It’s our disease, and how we face it is our choice.

In today’s episode, Kelin Welborn and I talk about Chadwick Boseman, his legacy, and the “responsibilities” of celebrity cancer patients. We then meander into a talk about gender, masculinity, and how boys are raised in the good ol’ USA.

* Production note.. The audio quality isn’t great on this one, as it was not produced by our amazing friends at Redbird Media Group.

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.

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, health experts, and friends from #cancerland.

We'll tackle a wide range of topics including cancer screenings, chemo, friendship, scars, sex and intimacy, grief, and the physical suck-fest of cancer. But .. PLOT TWIST.. we're also going to joke, laugh, and have fun.
