About Getting Men Talking You, Me and the Big C: Putting the can in cancer
-
- Health & Fitness
Steve Bland is flying solo this week as he asks why men sometimes find it hard to talk and to share their stories. He’s joined by Danny de Brabander, who has stage four bowel cancer, and Joe Bellman, whose mum died from cancer in late 2019, to talk about the challenges and benefits of taking your story public and leaning on mates for support when the going gets tough.
Steve also asks grief expert and counsellor Jenni Thomas OBE if and why men find it harder to open up – and whether actually they might just take a different approach to grief and the trauma of cancer and serious illness.
Don't forget, you can get in touch by using the #YouMeBigC across all forms of social media - spread the word and share the positive support.
