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.
