Description

When you think of breast cancer, you probably don’t think of men, but you should.

In this episode, Phil Alderson shares his story of surviving male breast cancer, a diagnosis most men never imagine they’ll face. From the moment he found a lump to navigating isolation, stigma, and the lack of male-focused support, Phil’s honesty will challenge what you think you know about breast cancer.

As two survivors, one male, one female, Sonia and Phil go into:

- The reality of male breast cancer (yes, it happens)

- Why early detection saves lives

- How stigma and silence make men more vulnerable

- The need for more inclusive awareness and language

- Rebuilding identity and purpose after cancer

If you’re a man, a father, a brother, this episode could save a life.
