  • Paul McCaffery: Cahonas Saved My LIFE
    Dec 23 2025

    Todd Whiteford of The Good Coffee Cartel — and a x2 testicular cancer survivor — takes over hosting duties to interview Paul McCaffery, the usual host of the podcast and Community Engagement Officer at Cahonas Scotland.

    In an honest and open conversation, Todd and Paul talk about lived experience, stigma, and why real, straight-talking conversations matter when it comes to testicular cancer. From community work to personal journeys, this episode digs into what it’s really like to be on both sides of the mic — and on both sides of the conversation.

    It’s a powerful role reversal filled with empathy, humour, and insight, showing how shared experiences and open dialogue can help break down barriers and get people talking about the things that still don’t get spoken about enough.

  • David Ross – The Story He Didn’t Think Was Interesting
    Dec 9 2025

    In this powerful episode of The Check One Two Podcast, we sit down with David Ross — a husband, dad, ScotRail worker, and testicular cancer survivor who swears his story “isn’t that interesting.” But trust us… it’s exactly the kind of story that matters.

    David takes us through the moment everything changed: discovering a lump during lockdown, the whirlwind diagnosis, and a brutally fast journey from ultrasound to surgery. He speaks openly about the guilt he carried, the fear of burdening his family, and the emotional weight of breaking the news to his wife and parents.

    We dive deep into his gruelling cycles of chemotherapy — compounded by his type 1 diabetes — and the long-lasting physical and mental impact it left behind, including neuropathy, anxiety, and the heartbreaking struggle to reconnect with his young daughters during recovery.

    But this is also a story of faith, resilience, and quiet strength. David shares how prayer, routine, and the support of his family carried him through his darkest moments, and how surviving testicular cancer reshaped his perspective on fatherhood, gratitude, and what really matters in life.

    Raw. Honest. Grounded. This is one man’s journey through diagnosis, treatment, fear, love, faith — and the long road back.
