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
You’ve got a great attitude Woody! So glad to hear it. I’m in the same boat and couldn’t agree with you more. Remember…you’re not alone and ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!
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 ❤️
@@Livingwith-prostatecancer thank you for your lovely reply, now to get the salad dodger, into a healthier way of eating, now that will be a battle, don't think there's any medication for that. Take care best wishes 😊
Woody good result as PSMA Pet Scan is the current best practice. I admire Woody that you are still working full time. Like you I was Gleason 9, Stage 4 and have had ADT and radiation. Sorry you have small cancer lesion in base spine. Keep positive Woody.
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
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.
Just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for making these very helpful videos. And, great news on the PET scan! I am 70 and just last May was diagnosed with stage 4 pc with innumerable metastases in bones and lungs. Aside from your hormone therapy, what other therapies have you undergone to this point? Cheers
Hi, I've done radiotherapy when first diagnosed. I was in a bit of a state my back was literally on the verge of collapsing since then it's been just hormone therapy and positivity ❤️🙏
Glad you're coping Woody. Don't forget the tomato puree 20g 3 times a day, it works for me. It should at least slow it down. I regard it as medicine and take extra ketchup. Good luck.
Thanks for the tips! I’ve been doing the tomato purée every day, it might of had something to do with my PSA coming down very slightly after slowly rising for five months

Keep punching buddy , I have just been diagnosed myself with prostate cancer and started on my second cancer journey I beat it once so hoping I have the same luck this time. 😊
Sir u ever seen pc survival patient more then 10 years I'm very scared because my father is suffering from pc cancer that has spread to his 8 areas of body and my everyday is a waste because im thinking too much about what happened to my father and at the age of 23 my life became hell
I had PC in 2021 that had spread to many areas most of is now gone thanks to modern medicine and I believe a positive mindset is key.there are plenty of people that are alive after 10 years despite the initial prognosis, I know a few of them Personally which gives me hope and should give you hope too 🙏
@@cherylconklin3288 What can you tell us about Ivermectin and cancer ? I have read the good ivermectin results used with enzalutamide. Can you elaborate - - - please .
Your dad will be fine IF you are in the US or Europe, there are multiple therapies administered simultaneously that will Shock you re effectiveness. Your dad will be fine, you must tell him this as several treatment wisdoms have only been understood literally in the past 3-yrs. Head Up!
My situation is complicated, at psa 380 some tumors around spine have caused my legs lost strength. I am on wheelchair again. Therapy is hardly possible as I got already a lot of radiation sooner. It is after 18years having prostate cancer..
Thank you for posting Woody...sending you my best wishes🙏

!2 years ? Great ! Have you had surgery or chemo ?
Sorry . 12 years ?
Thanks for posting Woody, things are going good, keep up the positivity
Thank you, I will❤️🙏
Woody, I was diagnosed about the same time
Doing the same treatments
Wish you the very best.
Thank you Steve the same to you too🙏
You’ve got a great attitude Woody! So glad to hear it. I’m in the same boat and couldn’t agree with you more. Remember…you’re not alone and ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!
It most certainly is, if one person can survive why can’t I, good luck to you my friend 🙏
Anything is possible you just have to believe it. Good luck to you my friend
I like your attitude Woody.
Best wishes, Fin
Thank you 🙏
You have a great attitude and I’m sure that zapping those small tumors will be successful. All the best to you.
Thank you so much!
Best wishes to you Woody. As you say good news . Targeted radiotherapy sounds good ,

@@n.c.b.8832 how many years u survived now.?
Woody, you are alive, so dont forget that. Radiation will take care of those lesions. You know it will.
Yep I’m really positive it will

I’m not so much afraid of it as just want it to be my last resort. So I’m happy that I still have it in my locker if it’s necessary

Hi woody my journey has only really just begun . I have stage 2 prostrate cancer and at the moment I’m on hormone tthopy
You will be ok keep positive stage two can be very easily managed, but it's the mind that does the most to get you through it.🙏
Glad you're coping Woody. Don't forget the tomato puree 20g 3 times a day, it works for me. It should at least slow it down. I regard it as medicine and take extra ketchup. Good luck.

Good luck, from Italy

Has treatment gotten better since the time of this video I need to know because I am on the same road
Hi, treatment has improved and there is so much research now going into prostate cancer.
What kind of hormone treatment are you on?
I’m on enzultamide tablets daily and zoladex injections every 3 months ( I was on Degaralix monthly injections for over 2 1/2 years)
Keep punching buddy , I have just been diagnosed myself with prostate cancer and started on my second cancer journey I beat it once so hoping I have the same luck this time. 😊
Read the book Cancer as a Metabolic Disease.
Hope you all having a good day today?

@@Livingwith-prostatecancer100%, attitude is 75% of the battle~
It is good to avoid chemo in this situation. Dear Woody maybe full time work is too much, half time would do maybe. All best.

18 years is incredible , you are such an inspiration
Woody look into actinium 225.
