In this episode of Check One Two, Paul sits down with John Brines, a testicular cancer survivor who tells it exactly how it is.
John opens up about the fear that comes with diagnosis, the complications he faced after surgery, and the toll it took on his confidence, relationships, and mental health.
This isn’t the polished version of recovery you read in leaflets — it’s the real, raw story of what happens after cancer. From body image to self-worth and everything in between, John’s honesty shines a light on the parts of survivorship we don’t talk about enough.
Recorded at the world-famous Podcast Studio Glasgow, this episode is for anyone who’s ever faced life after a diagnosis — or stood by someone who has.
