    It's Mother's Day - but are you your Mum's favourite child?
    May 10 2025

In this episode of Weekend one on one, we hear from Professor Jill Suitor, who’s been carrying out the research – she’s professor of sociology and an affiliate of the Center on Aging in the Life Course at Purdue University in Indiana in the United States.

    Mario is 93 and has lived with prostate cancer for 30 years. He puts it down to early testing
    May 10 2025
    Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer for Australian men, and if diagnosed early, is relatively easy to treat. But men from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds are more likely to be diagnosed with high-risk, or advanced prostate cancer than other Australians.
