I had to go to a pre-op physio appointment today which specialises in breast cancer recovery. Three people said a variation of: “I think you might be in the wrong place/got the date wrong - this is for breast cancer patients only” More work to be done.

Pleasure having James in the studio today and helping him tell his story Check yourselves, lads 👊 @blancmangetout @moobs_uk

Men – how often are you checking your breasts for lumps? If you’re anything like me, it’s basically never. This week I’m speaking with @blancmangetout, founder of @moobs_uk – a non-profit dedicated to awareness of male breast cancer. Before this podcast, I wasn’t even aware that men had breast tissue, never mind the risk of breast cancer. In it, we cover his journey from initial concerns, to being told to prepare for a terminal diagnosis, to fortunately being told this wasn’t the case, up until today and the foundation of Moobs. We also talk about some of the most exciting technologies being developed for the treatment of cancer, from vaccines to nanobots. I want to thank James for his bravery and candour. This is a difficult conversation, but hopefully, you’ll find plenty of humour and cause for optimism for future treatments in there too. Links in the top comment…

"If men aren't aware they can get breast cancer, they'll ignore things like lumps." James Richards, the man behind the Moobs movement, wants more men to be educated about the cancer and is challenging the language used.
