‘I actually haven’t committed a crime you know.. It’s not something I’m ashamed of. I just got ill’
‘It’s a running joke in our house, what did Chris do when he got cancer? He hoovered the house.’
This week on Newstalk’s Different Voices three generations of Irish men share their story of being diagnosed with, recovering from and living with cancer.
Men Having a Chat About Cancer produced by Caroline Clarke for Newstalk
106 – 108 fm is an honest and insightful account of three men’s battle with cancer and their efforts to cast off the veil of silence that surrounds the Irish male experience of the illness.
Chris Donoghue, diagnosed with non Hodgkin lymphoma at 23, Fionn Davenport, diagnosed with testicular cancer at 35 and John Kelleher, diagnosed with prostate cancer during his early 60′s talk openly and frankly about their diagnosis, treatment, reactions of family and friends and life after cancer.
Different Voices, Saturdays 7am – 8am, Sundays 9pm – 10pm on Newstalk 106 – 108 fm
