    Was waiting for your video Woody. Radiation has improved over the 12 years of my treatments. First time i had radiation to the prostate bed, it spilled over into my bowel and bladder which was quite painful. Last summer i had one lymph node radiated, with very little side effects. Just a slight pain in the area from time to time. Targeted radiation has vastly improved during the last 12 years. You have the big picture. I think that is the secret. Yes we have cancer, but they can keep us going, and can have a descent life. Regards Carl

      I agree Carl, it’s incredible what they do when you have stage four cancer these days, the longer we survive the more chance something else might appear in our treatment methods

    Just came across your channel. My husband recently diagnosed with PC. Is now on hormone therapy. Next is radiation . He had a bone scan as they thought it had spread to his hips which it hasn't thankfully. Your right about thinking positive, it's me that's worrying, reading things online, some scaring the life out of me. They can't operate, because he is in his 70s and the recovery would mean he would be left partially incontinent, so now onto the next stage of treatment in a few months. All the best to you x

      Hi Sharon thank you for your comment
      Sometimes you can scare yourself to death with all the stuff you find online.
      Some of it’s good but some not so.
      The good news is it hasn’t spread to his hips and hopefully nowhere else. When I was first diagnosed it had spread everywhere but thankfully none of my vital organs.
      I’m sure if he tries to live a healthy lifestyle plenty of fresh food veggies and fruit and stays away from the processed stuff, gets plenty of exercise and stays positive that is the most important thing to keep positive, you will have many more lovely years to come with your husband ❤️

    Hi Woody , superb news and treatment plan going forward sounds very promising, it seems different areas different treatments , gleason 9 stage 4 diagnosed Easter 22, chemo and hormone treatment so far, no radio, my latest PSA test few weeks ago for the first time PSA started to rise, I asked for a re test , is it a blip or really started to go up , I asked 3 times refused 3 times for a simple blood test done by a nurse , GP refused , can not justify another test your next one is in six months, no I will not worry myself daft for the next 6 months, got one done private and yes a blip back to where it should be, nice to know where we stand, in my opinion lots of superb Doctors but beware the wankers, same in every profession Phil

    • @Livingwith-prostatecancer
      @Livingwith-prostatecancer  5 месяцев назад

      Some GPs are awful, what right have they got to refuse you a test I’m 100% sure if they were going through what we are going through then they would soon get tested. I had PC symptoms for 8 months before I was given a PSA test. My GP was sure it was sciatica, who knows if those 8 months would have made any difference to my prognosis, something I can’t really spend too much time thinking about really. Im glad yours was just a blip that’s a relief.

    Don't be afraid of chemo. I went down that path and it was not too bad and just a limited time. I got six rounds of docetaxel and it cleared off my last residue confirmed by PSMA/PET scan before and after. Docetaxel is very mild compared to some chemo cocktails given to women with breast cancer for example.
