D-Day for Blu, the magazine. This little brother of Rose magazine (which is aimed at women affected by cancer) is designed on the same model: it is created only for men concerned by cancer. "In a deliberately light, sometimes funny tone, Blu wants to be a coach for his readers, he informs, advises and entertains men to guide them on the cancer world," says the magazine team - the same as that of Rose magazine .

Why duplicate? Because men and women do not always have the same cancers ( prostate and testicular cancers are exclusively male cancers ), but most importantly, they do not live with the disease in the same way. To be understood, reassured and advised ... the mission is the same but the words are not. The tone remains light and sometimes funny.
