The ‘Get men talking’ podcast: breaking the silence around prostate cancer

“If this podcast encourages even one listener to get checked and catch cancer early, it’s worth every word.” 

Ipsen’s Get Men Talking Podcast returns with a second episode for Movember 2024, continuing to urge men to get screened for prostate cancer and prioritise their long-term health. This year’s episode brings you a candid, heartfelt discussion with Tim Batchelor, now celebrating over 10 years cancer-free, and his Urologist, Mr Simon Bott, who’s been by his side every step of the way. 

Tim reflects on his early diagnosis at age 48, a pivotal decision that led to an early and successful treatment. Simon adds a thoughtful medical perspective, underscoring the importance of early screening for men approaching 50, who might be at risk but otherwise symptom-free. Together, they paint a picture of what a trusting, supportive patient-physician relationship can achieve, bringing moments of humour with heartfelt honesty. 

This is more than a conversation—it’s an invitation to every man to think about his health and his future. It’s never too early to start the conversation or book that check-up. Early diagnosis often means less intensive treatment, quicker recovery, and the ability to keep living life to the fullest. 

If we can encourage even one listener to get checked and catch cancer early, it’s worth every word. So listen in, reflect on Tim and Simon’s conversation, and, most importantly, take a moment to prioritize your health. Don’t wait for symptoms; get screened and stay informed. 

Tune in today—it could be the conversation that saves a life.
