    Johnny Nelson MBE: "My Dad Ignored The Symptoms"

    In this deeply moving episode of DopeBlackDads, we sit down with former world champion boxer Johnny Nelson and NHS GP Dr. Aziza Sesay to talk about something bigger than sport or titles — life, loss, and the power of early cancer detection. Johnny shares the emotional story of how his father missed the signs of cancer, and how that experience shaped his own approach to health. Dr. Aziza offers vital insights into why Black communities are at higher risk, how fear and stigma delay diagnosis, and the symptoms we should never ignore. This conversation is more than informative — it’s personal, practical, and potentially life-saving. 👉 Visit nhs.uk/cancersymptoms for more information. Hosted on Acast.
