Four Years of Cancer. Four Moments That Changed Me.

Four years ago, I was diagnosed with colon cancer.

There were many times along the way when I didn't think I would be here to tell the tale.

Through four moments, I give you a look back at my journey. These are four moments in my journey that changed the course of my life.

Derailed - my diagnosis story.

Shawshank Redemption moment - Get busy livin', or get busy dyin'.

Meeting Jocko - Sometimes the words from a leader find you when you most need them.

Best Day Possible - Notice I didn't say, Best Day Ever.

Thank you to Sarah, Sage, Elsie, and everyone else who has gotten me here.

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.
