For an upcoming theme on The Good Life, we are soliciting submissions by and about men who have been affected by cancer. First-person stories and feature articles on men and cancer are both welcome. Topics we would like to see include, but are not limited to:
Men caring for loved ones with cancer. What was the hardest experience associated with this task? What was the most remarkable, life-affirming, or loving thing you did or witnessed?
Men’s stories of receiving a cancer diagnosis: How did you initially respond? Did you find support from loved ones and friends? What was treatment like?
Survivor stories: How has your life changed since ending treatment? How do you handle fear, stress, physical limitations?
Do you provide care for men with cancer? What have you learned that might help others?
Which cancers are men at highest risk for, and are there ways to reduce those risks?
If you have a story or a pitch for an article, email Justin Cascio at [email protected] by the August 18 deadline for consideration.
"The Good Life" is asking men of the 21st century, What does your "good life" look like? Weekly themes, new content daily. Follow us here on The Good Men Project, on Twitter @GMPGoodLife, and Facebook.
If I remember I’ll try write up my story, although I am only a few months in.
