    Hi Colin & Shaun, this was a really wonderful talk. As a woman, we need to know these things as well, if we have any males in our lives, so I want to thank you guys for having this open, honest & very informative discussion! My husband has been having a test as part of his annual check-up.
    My brother has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, he has other comorbidities, so he's not a good candidate for surgery, so he is being what the Doctor calls "Active surveillance", but we just recently were told that his Gleeson score (which was 6) is probably higher, because one of the medications he's on (finasteride) so his true PSA levels is probably doubled!
    Sorry for going into so much detail, but I want to thank you both so very much for this video to tell people this very, very important information...go and get a PSA test and do it as part of your annual check-ups! Have a really wonderful weekend! You guys are the best! Please give the pups a cuddle for me! Lots of love Kathy x

    I’m SO pleased that you are talking about prostate cancer. My husband was diagnosed with it and had his prostate removed on New Year’s eve in 2019 and his PSA has behaved itself since then! I’m sure that the digital rectal exam and the biopsy are what put men off, but they shouldn’t as it’s better than dying of cancer, to put it bluntly. Well done, guys, love you xx PS the waiting was the worst part!

    Mine had spread just outside the prostate - long term hormone therapy to drop testsoterone levels then radiotherapy. Complications led to a catheter - got so used to strange people tugging my todger at Urology I've lost any sense of shame ;-)
    Managed to fall asleep during MRI scan, had a lot of laughs with the consultant and her team , wonderful radiotherapy team as well.
    I've seen various bits of my insides with some of the scans, they love it when you ask about your own bits.
    I don't really mind about the after effects down there -- no more cancer.

    I wish I'd been able to watch that video five years ago, when I was first diagnosed - like Shaun, after a member of my family told me to get checked. I wasn't suitable for surgery, so had to opt for radiotherapy. Now, several years later, the "late effects" have arrived - the after effects of the therapy can take up to fifteen years to appear. In my case it's left me faecally incontinent - I have to wear a nappy. But, as you said in the video, it's better than being dead! Do they have awards for RUclips videos? That deserves one, certainly!

    I also had prostate cancer. My choices were chemicals, radiation, or surgery….I chose radiation. That would be 40 sessions of radiation. Killed the cancer but my bowels went to hell. My treatment was in 2017 and my bowels are just now starting to be perky once again. My doctor said I’d probably die of something else while waiting to die from prostate cancer. I’m still kicking after seven years and going on 82. Going on eighty-two scares me worse than cancer. Best of luck to both of you, and I think luck has a lot to do with it.

    Fantastically clear and informative video. My father and his brother, and my father's grandfather all died of prostate cancer. My GP said he had never heard of prostate cancer screening, refused me a second opinion, and refused me an appointment with a consultant. However, after my father passed, his consultant offered to ring my GP which seemed to give my GP a case of the heebie-jeebies. I think he smelt a negligence court case coming - ha ha. So now I get my PSA check annually and I have also bought some home PSA kits. Excellent video - keep up the good work.

    Dear Foxes, Once again, an exemplary "public information" presentation of an important subject. Can l add one thing - my late partner, when in his mid 60's, presented with 'symptoms' of prostate trouble and underwent all the tests. He was put on various medications, and for two years struggled on with no improvement. ln the end they decided to do a laparoscopy test but could not get the scope into the urethra because he had polyps growing up the walls of it. They operated to remove them and his symptons disappeared. So he was on inneccessary medication and suffering for two yesrs. lt might be a good thing if the medical profession tried looking for other explanations when the tests for prostate come back unclear.
    Keep up the good work Colin and Shaun, you are an asset to life in many ways!

Glad you did this video, it will help loads of people. I'm having the basic tests done now for it as i lost him & his Dad from it too both aged 84, i'm 56 next so if i do have it i will do the same as Shaun and get rid of the lot.

    You had us worried initially, we thought it was a new diagnosis. Sorry you had to go through that, but thank you so much for a very informative vlog. I know for a fact that many men don't even think about it checked, including my husband, whom I had to threaten to get checked. This is one of the few cancers that is treatable and curable if caught early. I've taken care of quiet a few gentlemen who've had their prostate removed. I'm a nurse, and when I still worked in a hospital over 20yrs ago, they kept you in the hospital for at least 1 week, if not 2.

    Your surgery sounds somewhat similar to my husband's experience with his surgery last year (age 68) for a badly enlarged prostate.(Five times normal size)The biopsy after his surgery found a very small spot of cancer in the piece they removed, although it didn't worry anybody since the cancer was completely removed. After his surgery, he has noticed many improvements in the things that the enlarged prostate had caused, so it's been a huge win for him. I'm glad you found your cancer early, Shaun. May you have many more good years ahead!

    I watch all sorts of medical type podcasts/ videos. You two have done one of the best informative vids that i have watched. Most are by doctors, many of whom use medical terms with abandon, leaving me saying " WHAT" . In biology classes in college, we had chapters on human female and male reproductive organs, but this was more informative as far as the prostate is concerned..and especially the options there are for cancer treatment. I know men that have had both cancer or enlarged prostate, and i know that they did not know what you told us. Might have to do with the doctors only having 15 minutes with the patient. So again thank you. I will be forwarding this to a few wives to share with husbands .
