The Many Faces of Cancer
As a cancer survivor and thriver, I know how important community and support are when you are facing a cancer diagnosis. That’s why I created The Many Faces of Cancer Podcast.
Each week I will be interviewing amazing people with heartfelt and inspirational stories from all sides of the cancer journey: patients, survivors and thrivers, caregivers, family and friends, and professionals. I may even throw in a bonus episode once in a while talking about things that are important to us all.
We never think it will happen to us, until it does. This podcast will be about community, knowing you’re not alone in your journey. It will also be an opportunity for people to share their stories and hopefully help others.
I hope you will all tune in. While it will be cancer stories, we all learn from others and, ultimately, these are human stories, applicable to many other areas of life.
The Many Faces of Cancer
Testicular Cancer Awareness and Advocacy with Mike Craycraft
Today's guest is Mike Craycraft, registered pharmacist, testicular cancer survivor, and founder of the Testicular Cancer Society.
Mike provides heartfelt insight into what it was like to remain silent about his diagnosis for seven months, living like he was dying, what it took to accept his condition, the importance of self-advocacy, and what it's like to really live after a cancer diagnosis.
Testicular cancer can affect men at any age, especially younger men, and the importance of self-exams cannot be overstressed. Mike and the Testicular Cancer Society have made it very easy with their app, which we talk about in the episode.
Testicular Cancer is another one of those cancers that carries some stigma, and a lot of people don't know that much about it, so this is a must listen to chat.
