09 June - Health

Today we spoke to Michelle May – from the Cancer Association of South Africa. We were talking about the most prevalent cancers among South African men. It is reported that Socio-economic factors and lifestyle choices have an impact on the types of cancers men in South Africa get - far more so than genetic factors, recent research appears to point out. June is Men’s Health Month, initiated to raise awareness around men’s health. For more information contact the Cancer Association of South Africa on 0800 22 6622 or visit www.cansa.org.za

We closed off the show with an interview with Samantha Galliet – Breast Cancer Survivor and founder of breast cancer advocacy group PinkLink. We were talking about 5 minutes to LIVE test, which is designed to quickly estimate a woman’s potential risk levels of invasive breast cancer. Samantha explained more about the test and how it works.
