76. Bowel Cancer Awareness with Jake Usher

Welcome to Episode 76 of the Mindful Men Podcast - Bowel Cancer Awareness with Jake Usher

June is Bowel Cancer awareness month, so what better way to raise awareness than to talk about our bums? 

This week I’m joined by a not-so-average Aussie bloke Jake Usher from WA. Jake has an incredible story of being diagnosed with Stage 4 Bowel Cancer at the age of 31. What started off as an itchy bum and regular visits to the toilet, ended up in a colonoscopy, surgery and chemotherapy.

Jake shares his story with the aim of inspiring other young people out there to have a chat with their Doctor if they’re concerned about their colon. This is particularly the case for young Australians, because as Jake mentions in the show, colon cancer is not just an old person’s disease.
