Open Heart, Warrior Spirit: Jared McMillan

Earlier this summer, I did a solo episode in which I told you about one of my friends and heroes, Jared McMillan. At the time, Jared was going through some brutal side effects from his cancer treatment, and had also just been diagnosed with COVID-19.

In today’s episode, you get to hear from the man himself!

I was honored to have a heart-to-heart talk with Jared. We touch on a wide range of topics, including the importance of family, and the unique challenges that men face when we are diagnosed with cancer. 

Jared is a husband, dad, recently retired Air Force officer, and a stage 4 colon cancer badass. In the Howling Place (Man Up to Cancer’s private Facebook group for men impacted by cancer), we all look up to Jared for his strength, courage, and honesty. 

If this resonates with you (especially if you are a man impacted by cancer looking to connect with others who are in the same boat) I invite you to learn more about our community at www.manuptocancer.com
