In this episode of Check One Two, Paul sits down with professional golfer Matthew Southgate to talk about his testicular cancer journey, life on the golf course, and why he now uses his platform to help others.

Matthew was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2015 at just 26 years old, at a time when his golf career was beginning to take off. After surgery and recovery, he returned to the sport he loved — but found himself facing a different challenge: being known as a cancer survivor as much as a golfer.

In this honest conversation, Matthew talks about the fear and uncertainty of a cancer diagnosis, the mental impact of being labelled a survivor, the pressure of elite sport, and how golf became a place of focus and healing.

We discuss the importance of checking yourself, trusting medical professionals, making healthcare accessible for men, and why sports clubs can play such an important role in encouraging conversations around men’s health.

A powerful conversation about resilience, perspective, kindness, and using your experience to help others.

🎙️ Check One Two — real stories, honest conversations, and raising awareness one episode at a time.

In this episode, Stefan Ogilvie shares his testicular cancer journey — from finding a lump and facing surgery to undergoing chemotherapy and coping with the emotional toll.

He talks about recovery, long-term side effects like neuropathy and tinnitus, and his ongoing efforts to raise awareness (including using a purple testicular cancer duck) to encourage men to check themselves and seek prompt medical help.

In this episode of Check One Two, we’re joined by David King, who shares his recent and deeply personal experience with testicular cancer following his diagnosis in October 2025.

David talks openly about noticing subtle changes, navigating appointments, surgery, chemotherapy, and the mental weight of hearing words like cancer, tumour, Beatson, and chemo for the first time. His story is a powerful reflection on the anxiety of the unknown, the fear of what might happen, and how often that fear can feel worse than the reality itself.

We also discuss the lack of clear information available to men at the point of diagnosis, the emotional impact on family and friends, body image, recovery, and why open conversations like this matter so much. David’s honesty, humour, and growing passion for advocacy make this a moving and important listen.

A raw, reassuring, and inspiring episode about awareness, resilience, and speaking up.
