SEASON 3, EPISODE 5: Body Image: the male perspective

Season 3 provides an insight into the male perspective of having cancer at a young age and offers a balanced representation to explore how different genders experience similar situations or challenges. 
 
In this episode we introduce you to Darren, Fraser and Robbie where they discuss body image from a male perspective, and how it feels having a different body from everyone else. They highlight that people often underestimate the impact of male hair loss, and share how losing their hair, eyebrows and eyelashes affects their sense of identity and their self-confidence. The visible changes in physical appearance through hair loss, loss of a limb or weight changes from treatment results in a loss of control over who they share their private health information with.

In this episode we introduce you to Fraser, James and Euan as they discuss how cancer has affected their mental health, highlighting that they don't want cancer to define them. They admit to finding it difficult to open up about their feelings and recognise the impact their mental health can have on others, which can lead to them suppressing their emotions and trying to portray that they are coping well. 
They discuss how their perspectives on life have changed and how they feel different to their non-cancer peers. They challenge the misconception that mental health is only affected during treatment and explain that for some people its harder after treatment ends.

In addition, they also acknowledge the importance of consistent support from non-cancer peers.

SEASON 3, EPISODE 1: Relationships: the male perspective

Season 3 provides an insight into the male perspective of having cancer at a young age and offers a balanced representation to explore how different genders experience similar situations or challenges. 
 
In this episode we introduce you to Darren, Euan and James who are discussing how relationships can be affected by the diagnosis and treatment. They talk about positive relationships with partners, family, friends and the medical team. They describe how unconditional support keeps you grounded, and that they felt they could draw strength from the people around them. Conversely, they acknowledge that being surrounded by people can sometimes be overwhelming and that you also need some time to be alone with your thoughts. So its important to balance time with people with space for yourself. They also discuss the changes in relationships when you rely on people for physical help and support. They describe this as being a 'big bonding experience' which can bring people closer.
 
They share the recognition that their experiences are very different from their friends and challenge the misconception that 'you're fine' because treatment has finished. They describe having cancer as an isolating experience, and share their apprehension about meeting other young people with cancer at first.
