In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we sit down with Joe Docherty, a testicular cancer survivor who shares the emotional and psychological challenges of his journey. While many focus on the physical toll of cancer, Joe highlights the mental health struggles that come with treatment and recovery.
Joe also opens up about facing the harsh reality that his cancer treatment may have taken away his chance to become a father—a heartbreaking consequence that many survivors grapple with in silence.
In this conversation, Joe discusses:
The mental health impact of testicular cancer treatment and how he coped.
Finding support during some of the darkest moments of his journey.
The importance of breaking the stigma around men’s mental health.
His hopes for the future and his message to other men facing similar challenges.
This episode is an honest look at the side of cancer we don’t often talk about, reminding us of the resilience it takes to overcome not just the illness, but the emotional aftermath it leaves behind.
