Harry McArthur: The Year He Slept on Cancer—and Survived

This week on Check One Two, we sit down with Harry McArthur – a young dad, self-employed grafter, and proud recipient of the Cahonas Scotland “You’ve Got This” box – to hear his raw and powerful story of surviving testicular cancer.

 

Harry opens up about ignoring a lump for over a year, the shock of diagnosis, the whirlwind of surgery, and the emotional toll of being a man navigating cancer. But more than anything, this episode is about strength, honesty, banter, and the importance of speaking up before it’s too late.

 

From NHS delays to dad jokes, from one ball to a new beginning – this is a story every man needs to hear.

 

Topics covered:

• Testicular cancer symptoms & signs

• Why men delay getting checked

• Mental health & masculinity

• The real impact of early detection

• How a Cahonas box helped Harry feel seen

• Finding love (and laughs) after surgery
