Men, cancer, and the 'S' word

In today's episode, I share a blog post about one of those big uncomfortable words that guys don't talk about: Shame.

Then Kelin and I dive deep into a discussion about how shame has reared its ugly head in my cancer journey.

Shout out to the organizations we mention: The Colon Club, COLONTOWN, and the Dempsey Center.

Here's an excerpt:

"Don't be weak. Toughen up. Take it like a man.

So what happens to the American man - one who has been taught there is no hurdle he can't handle on his own - when a challenge comes along that he can't simply fix?

What happens when he gets cancer?"

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.
