Steve Hoskins: He Was Told It Was an Infection. It Wasn't.
He was told it was an infection. It was testicular cancer.
Steve Hoskins is a wheelchair-racing coach living with cerebral palsy who noticed a small swelling just weeks before heading out to support his athletes at the Paris Paralympics. What followed was a GP misdiagnosis, an agonising 999 call, a moment at A&E that told him something was seriously wrong before any doctor did, and weeks of uncertainty before a diagnosis of a mixed germ cell tumour.
In this episode, Steve talks openly about:
The early symptoms he almost ignored
Why he had to seek a private second opinion to be taken seriously
What surgery, chemotherapy, and recovery were really like
The mental toll of waiting for follow-up results
A possible childhood risk factor for testicular cancer that current screening misses entirely
How he was back on his bike within a month of finishing chemo
If you or someone you know has noticed a change and been putting off getting it checked, this episode is for you.

Matthew Southgate: Cancer Didn’t Define Me - Golf, Recovery & Raising Awareness
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.
