Testicular Cancer: Talking bollocks w/ Michael Cowman
Manage episode 449236387 series 3551955
In this episode, Charlie is joined by Michael, who was diagnosed with testicular at the age of 20.
They have a very open and honest conversation about his own experience, when having to confront his diagnosis and at such a young age.
Navigating decisions around his fertility, removal of his testicle and the implications that this then had when interacting with the opposite sex and his local community - before then heading to sea with the Navy.
They also discuss his role now as a ambassador for Movember, a community that unites every year in November to take on mental health, suicide, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
Having raised in excess of £30,000 to date, he now finds himself taking a daily dip in the Irish Sea!
For any guys out there who might be going through similar, this episode will bring you hope and reassurance through what can otherwise be a very daunting time.
