All Episodes

February 5, 2025 • 23 mins

Season 3 provides an insight into the male perspective of having cancer at a young age and offers a balanced representation to explore how different genders experience similar situations or challenges. In this episode we introduce you to Fraser, James and Euan as they discuss how cancer has affected their mental health, highlighting that they don't want cancer to define them. They admit to finding it difficult to open up about their feelings and recognise the impact their mental health can have on others, which can lead to them suppressing their emotions and trying to portray that they are coping well. They discuss how their perspectives on life have changed and how they feel different to their non-cancer peers. They challenge the misconception that mental health is only affected during treatment and explain that for some people its harder after treatment ends.

Season 3 is sponsored by the Beatson Cancer Charity Home | Beatson Cancer Charity and is recorded by Go Radio in Glasgow Go Radio | 90's 00's & Now | Number 1 for Glasgow & The West (thisisgo.co.uk)

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
