Cancer Meets Comedy, Autism Meets Medicine: Stories That Challenge With A Blog And A Book.
from After awareness, then what? #CancerCanDoOne.
What happens when cancer gets a sense of humour? And when a late autism diagnosis changes how some healthcare professionals see cancer care? In this episode, we meet two men rewriting the script—literally. One through a fabulously funny, no-holds-barred blog about his incurable cancer experience, the other through a powerful new book unpacking autism, prostate cancer, and the gaps in some healthcare professionals' understanding. Meet Martin Howell and Mac. Two men, two very different experiences—talking to Robins or taking a TV to bits to make a radio. Why? Well, you'll hear over the next 20 minutes. Both reshaping how we think about illness, identity, and how we tell our stories. ----more---- Martin Howell's Blog https://prostatecancer.me.uk Mac's Book on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Late-Diagnosis-Autism-Diagnosed-Challenges/dp/1835634257 #prostatecancer #cancerawareness #pancreaticcancer #incurablecancer #menscancer #cancercandoone #louthrunforlife

What this episode covers
If cancer was a comedy, would anyone laugh? One of my guests thinks so—and his blog about incurable cancer proves it. But humour aside, today’s conversation goes deeper, exploring the intersection of late autism diagnosis, prostate cancer, and the blind spots in some healthcare understanding. Two men, two very different experiences—but both reshaping how we think about illness, identity, and how we tell our stories. Literally.
