Grace hosts a youtube talk show, Cancer Convos with Grace B, and she is the author of a memoir, “Impossicant.” Today we explore her advocacy work, the stigma of cancer across cultures, and we ask the question: How can we get more men to take control of their health? “A guy will look out more for what's happening to the engine in his car, than to what's happening in his own body," Grace says.
