Supporting Men Touched By Cancer, With Trevor Maxwell

Trevor Maxwell was initially diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in March of 2018. During his journey he discovered a need for online support for men touched by cancer.

In our conversation we discussed:

  • How Trevor's diagnosis resulted in his clinical depression and how he's been working through it.
  • The support he received from The Colon Club.
  • The void in online support for men touched by cancer and how he created Man Up to Cancer.
  • Why he chose the Wolf as the symbol of Man Up to Cancer.

Lee & Linda Silverstein

In 2011, just four months after they began dating, Lee was diagnosed with Stage 2 colon cancer. A year and a half later, 17 days after their honeymoon, they learned that Lee’s cancer had spread to his liver; he was now Stage 4. Through numerous surgeries, chemotherapy infusions and assorted other treatments, Linda has been by his side. Despite cancer, Lee and Linda say unequivocally these have been the best years of their lives.

In 2015 Lee launched this podcast as a way to provide information, inspiration and hope to those affected by cancer.

Lee and Linda live in Florida with their Westie Terrier, Fergie.
