I'M ASKING GOD TO STAND BY YOUR SIDE .

Facing up and sharing our journey is inspirational and motivating, keep going brother 🙏

Hi Woody you just popped up on my feed. I am now subscribed to your channel. I will keep you in my prayers. ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸

Just had a birthday, another decade done and dusted, very weird huh!!! Yet in my mind I'm in my 20s somewhere. Both my Grandads died of prostate cancer wayyyyy back, so I'm thinking my odds of that getting me are kinda high, so far it hasn't as far as I'm aware. I do have HBP and some cardiac issues, so yeah, what with my age n all my mortality does weigh heavy on me quite often. Regarding getting out in nature, yeah I agree it's very therapeutic for me also, I think what it does is make me realise that I'm just a very small cog in a huge machine and that whether I'm alive or not, the other cogs will continue to turn, the leaves will still turn color in autumn, new buds will still break out from the branches in spring, the rain will still fall and the sun shine. Somehow my realization of my insignificance is comforting, one would think it would be the opposite, belittling my importance perhaps, but no. I've just subscribed so I'll be back to listen again Woody, all the best until the next installment mate.

Woody it seems that nature works for you and it’s proven that connection with it lifts the spirit. You are doing exactly the right action by getting off that settee and getting out there. You are showing all the same stoicism which Chris Hoy has displayed.

Agree, keep active mentally and physically, the keeping active is the one and only thing the Doctors and Oncologists i have seen agree on, all have said the same from day one, Keep moving

Another great book is “Mind Power” by John Kehoe.

New biologics are promising. I have a friend who was cured of lung cancer via a biologics trial.

I usually feel like crap when I start walking, but after many miles and heading back I’m always surprised how much better I feel and easier it becomes.

Walk as well mate. Nature takes you out of your head. When i'm in nature, cancer does not exist, i feel normal. Cheers Woody. Keep on keeping on.

Thanks! Me: Stage 4, 3 years in. Can't walk. Find my joy where, when and how I can. Yes, I can find it.

Thanks for your videos mate They certainly help me ..

Woody,I have little to say in response today…feel grateful for the opportunity to listen to you…thanks bud😊

I can confirm exercise works wonders and can change your state of mind. In some extreme cases I'll go out and ride a bike 15 miles, then walk 5 miles and come back. After 20 miles you'll come back with a feeling of near euphoria. One day I did 28 miles in 5 hours. Really remarkable.

I look forward to your videos, Woody. I know what you mean by the weekend letdown. Work routines are a good distraction. Anyway, you’re a good guy with a good message. I really hope the radiotherapy knocks it out. Meantime you’re living life and spreading goodwill, and you deserve a lot of credit for that. See you next Saturday.

Sir why your psa level raise too 3 too 6 after radio therepy did you ever seen any kind of situation in other patients and what's your next treatment because your cancer is active it will keep spreading all around the body what's your oncologist opinion about that?????hope everything will be fine

For quite some time, I've been practicing Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and its helped through those bad days and dark thoughts. I'm not even sure I can blame the Prostate Cancer for these feelings and thoughts but I'm trying to deal with the reality of who and where I am. I admire the older members of Church who've been through so many challenges and they give me courage and hope. As always, thanks for posting. Keep moving and best wishes.

Thanks woody

Don’t feel bad. I am missing the general gene that suppresses general tumors and I am still here in late middle age. It’s amazing what’s possible. Genes are only a tendency, not fate. And everyone should know that.

I keep a little quote from Sting in mind every now and then: "Life is an adventure an my response is to say "yes" to it.

Cyber knife is supposed to be cutting edge and really good.

Promising new biologics appear to be able to cure many cancers on the cellular level.

Your vids are full of wisdom. Love 'em.

There is also a book called Love Your Disease.

Keep on trucking. I can recommend the mind book “The Magic of Believing” by Claude Bristol. There is also a book called The Wisdom of The Body.

Walking 5-6 miles a day really improves the mind. If you can tolerate the pain take up light cycling too and work up to longer distances. It really increases health. Walking 5 miles a day has also shown to bring down A1C in 3 months, which helps since blood sugar has been linked to cancer. Too much sitting is also a negative risk factor. Keep active daily always.

Read the book Cancer as a Metabolic Disease.

I have a feeling that twenty years from now you’ll be giving us words of wisdom. Hang in there, Woody.

Thanks for sharing this. I start my Radiotherapy in 10 days and some of your thoughts and ideas have helped my preparation for any side effects that come along. Very best of luck in the future and stay strong.💪

As always Woody, thanks for sharing your ongoing journey with a kind and positive spirit. Its a big help to me. Mind yourself, keep laughing , god bless Phil.

You’re correct…survival is what it is all about brother…proud of you.

I've been having a problem with bleeding and just found out its not just proctitis but diverticulitis also. I've cut down on meat and increased veggies and bran cereal and it seems to be working for me. I'm hopeful its all going well but will know more at the next blood test. I know a little of what you're talking about and hope my resilience won't be tested any more than it has. Best wishes to you.

12 years ago, after 32 sessions of radiation to the prostate bed after a radical prostetectomy, i had severe pain in the bowel and bladder. I think it might have lasted a week after the final session. Hang in Woody, it will get better. Thanks giving weekend here in Canada, and just saw my docs, and they both said things are looking good after my second time around of treatments for a lymph node metastisis. Feeling grateful. Hang in my friend. Regards Carl.

Hi Woody I found the slight discomfort and urgency lasted about 3 weeks after 20 Radiotherapy treatments, nearly 3 years on and testosterone recovered back to normal level of 20 and Psa now 0.58 I am 6 months blood test with my Doctors. Good luck hope all pans out for you Woody and all the other people that follow your journey.

If your side effect is Proctitis, for me it subsided after 3-4 weeks, albeit my insides never functioned quite the same again. Felt compelled to write as find your positive outlook helps me so much. I'd offer back to you, advice you've kindly given out - whether things are good are bad, this current time shall pass. Good luck !

Looking good Woody, stay positive and look for the humour Phil

Hi woody me and my husband watch your videos it help us my husband as stage 4 pc keep up the good work ❤️

It's good to see you have a positive attitude Woody, I can understand why you didn't ring the bell after RT, I didn't either. I told my wife that I'd go back in 5 years if I'm still cancer free, I felt like I was tempting fate. I just got the results of my first PSA test 6 months after the RT ended, it was 0.030, nothing for me to celebrate, if my PSA is good in 5 years then I'll celebrate. That's the problem with PC, you're always waiting on a result which makes the whole thing a drag. I had a Gleason 7 (4+3) T3A and am almost one year into two years of hormone treatment. Had a scare Friday, knowing that ADT can cause strokes, woke up and found my face to be sagging on one side, couldn't close one eye and was dribbling when trying to drink, spent 6 hours in A&E, after tests it was found that I'm suffering from Bells Palsy thank God, they've given me steroids to take for 10 days.I have three older brothers that also have PC. One brother with Gleason 9 (spread to lymph nodes) is having problems with his waterworks, he's really struggling to pee. The hospital say's they cannot hold up the RT any longer and are fitting him with the dreaded catheter next week and he has no idea how long he'll be stuck with one. He's had problems for a few years down there, ideally he shoul'nt be having RT but he has been told that they can't remove his prostate. Another brother is just out of diappers after prostate removal and the eldest is having his prep scan for RT in a couple of weeks. Anyway, keep soldiering on Woody, you're an inspiration for many of us, I have a good feeling for you.

Hang in there brother, I'm in the planning process for Radiation for my aggressive prostate cancer. I had Gleason score 9 and prostate surgery one year ago, and now a relapse. Your videos are very helpful to me, thanks a lot.

Hi Woody. Hope the last session went well. You are so right about the power of the mind in helping all of us get through our cancer challenges. When I had my 29 radiation therapy sessions the machine was newly-installed and my cancer centre had also installed above it a beautiful illuminated ceiling montage of Canada geese in flight. I was only in the machine about 10 minutes at a time but it was always stressful to lie alone on a table while the machine did its work and think about how I landed myself in that predicament. I felt it very calming to focus on the photo and think about flocks of geese taking off from the lakes near where I live. Heart rate declined. Breathing was easier. The mind is as powerful as many drugs.

Hang in there, Woody. I'm. Stage 2, 3+4. I was diagnosed in April and had my surgery in July. I pray that God brings you through. I also pray all treatments are effective. Take care, and thanks for sharing!!

Hi Woody, thank you for the videos, fellow traveller here. ADT will bring the numbers down in preparation for the radio therapy, but it's not considered curative as mono therapy. Radiation is though

PSA tests should be routine for all men. My husbands brother was diagnosed , he has three brothers. The nurse suggested my hubby got checked. He has had an MRI scan. His PSA was high. He has a biopsy next Tuesday. He was peeing a lot some days and hardly at all other days. He’s very tired most days, comes home from work mid shift, has to have a nap every day. Why didn’t the doc suggest the PSA test in the first place. They took his gall bladder out a couple of yrs ago but that made no difference to his bloated stomach. He doesn’t drink much and his appetite is gone. So we shall see what the biopsy brings. Doc said two areas of concern have shown up on the scan. Don’t know what that means.

Thank you for sharing, im 52 and have a yearly physical next week, im getting my psa checked if i have to pay for it myself,,and im spreading the word because of your video...

Just been diagnosed with prostrate cancer 4+4 psa 40 hopefully things can only get better absolutely gutted

😮I got angry and frustrated when first attempt at radiation failed and required to wait for second attempt.

Thanks for posting Woody, things are going good, keep up the positivity

Hi woody, i hope everything went well for you? Although I have stage 2 , I’m on hormone therapy and due to undergo radiotherapy December/January time and as you know it’s an emotional roller coaster and I sometimes think to myself “Why me?” Any way take care Les

Please take FENBENDAZOLE and spread the word to everyone you know. It's PARASITES!

The ability to escape the moment is a skill…good for you Woody. Coping properly is key when dealing with cancer.😊
