David King: Anxiety, Awareness, and Testicular Cancer

In this episode of Check One Two, we’re joined by David King, who shares his recent and deeply personal experience with testicular cancer following his diagnosis in October 2025. David talks openly about noticing subtle changes, navigating appointments, surgery, chemotherapy, and the mental weight of hearing words like cancer, tumour, Beatson, and chemo for the first time. His story is a powerful reflection on the anxiety of the unknown, the fear of what might happen, and how often that fear can feel worse than the reality itself. We also discuss the lack of clear information available to men at the point of diagnosis, the emotional impact on family and friends, body image, recovery, and why open conversations like this matter so much. David’s honesty, humour, and growing passion for advocacy make this a moving and important listen. A raw, reassuring, and inspiring episode about awareness, resilience, and speaking up.
