In this new episode of Let’s Talk Cancer, Cary Adams speaks with Jaym O’Esso, a performer, songwriter, dancer, who lost both parents to cancer and was himself diagnosed twice at a young age, about prevention, early awareness, and the lived experience of younger adults.
Together they explore Jaym’s personal journey – from his life and creative career before being treated twice for colorectal cancer – and how this experience reshaped his perspective on health, priorities and the future. The conversation highlights the rise of early-onset cancers and the importance of recognising symptoms, listening to one's body, and seeking care without delay.
Jaym reflects on the power of community, storytelling, and connection throughout his treatment, and how he now uses his platform to advocate for greater awareness and prevention-focused conversations.
