Matthew Zachary thinks cancer care should focus on ... cancer patients. The nerve!

Matthew Zachary was just 21 years old when he was diagnosed with brain cancer. That was back in 1995, making him a 25-year survivor. 

He is the founder of OffScrip Media, the first audio broadcast network focused on consumer health and patient advocacy. 

You may have heard of a little organization called Stupid Cancer... 

Well, Matthew is the founder. Under his leadership from 2007 through 2018, Stupid Cancer grew into a powerhouse, as the largest and most influential young adult cancer organization in the world.

Matthew is not even close to being done in his mission to call out the bullshit in #cancerland, hold the powerful accountable, and make cancer suck less for the rest of us.

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.
