    I sent this to my dad over Christmas. He loved it so much he sent it to a friend who also has been operated for prostate cancer. Sadly, my dad left us 11 days ago, I can't help but return to this song. I love the part when you sing "someone's daddy, someone's grandpa, someone's husband." ❤️ He was all of this.

    Nice one. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the age of 68 and less than two months later at the age of 69 I was in hospital having a full prostatectomy. I had no symptons to speak of, I had decided to have a PSA test because of my age. Now I keep advising all my male friends, (and female friends with male partners), to get their PSA levels tested before it's too late, i.e. get them done at the age of 50! (PS The finger of the bum is not so necessary these days. After my diagnosis I had the doctor demonstrate to an intern, that was it.) PPS Brilliant video, very professional!

    I didn't have cancer but I discovered that if it gets blocked one can have a vacation ruined and end up having emergency surgery in Luxor, Egypt (I was 72 at the time from Canada). I now know more about the prostate that I ever did before the operation. Take the health of your prostate seriously guys. Having your bladder drained during a Nile cruise is not something I would wish for anyone to experience!

    Thank you my husband was diagnosed with Prostate cancer in January, after having surgery, we are hopeful that it's 99.9% cured... Due to getting it checked quickly, Please guys check in with your GP if you are peeing too much or have a slow flow, takes a second to get checked out both with a PSA blood test and prostate exam by your doctor , it could save your life .❤️

    My husband was diagnosed at the age of 57 with prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 9. He’s had two major forms of treatment but still has cells lingering. He always wears his little prostate man and happily will talk about it to anyone who will listen. We play lawn bowls and have members in our club and other clubs who have recently been diagnosed or at present undergoing treatment so I’m sharing this to as many places as I can to make people aware. Thank you to a very talented family. 😘

    I lost my father to prostate cancer early this year. Unfortunately they found out too late.
    Guys, go get yourself checked! Also have them test the PSA score, even if that test isn't covered by your health insurance. It is so important!
    If found early on it is one of the types of cancer that can be treated well. If found too late..... well, dying from it is no joke. I'll leave it at that.

      Grieving is hard. Allow yourself as much time as you need. If for example- you are driving and suddenly feel overwhelming sadness, pull over, have a cry, - then drive on when you are safe. Just stay safe, all the rest is details. It can come on sudden like that.

      So sorry to hear this, and sending thoughts to you and your family. We did think carefully about the song and it’s tone, because we know of so many painful and tragic experiences. Each one is heart-breaking. Our hope is that we can bring it to attention in a different way, and point people to support, so that other families don’t suffer needlessly. But if we reopened any wounds in the process, sorry. And thanks for sharing your loss and urging people to get checked early.

    My husband is now humming 'Mack the Knife' in the other room. He'll have no idea why if I ask him! His Dad had prostate cancer, but fortunately very slow growing (and as the doctor said) he'd be 'dead before it kills' him. And so it came to pass. Good on you all for raising awareness and demystifying the stigma. And for including the trans community.

    Thank you for this song. As usual you guys did a great job! This song hit a little close to home. My husband doesn't actually have cancer, thank God. But we found out early last year that his prostate was enlarged and if he hadn't been diagnosed when he was that he probably would have died in a couple years, as it would have continued to grow. He's now taking medicine to keep it under control. That was a big scare for us as we nearly had to take him to the emergency room because he was suddenly so weak he couldn't even walk! He also started slurring his words and we think he had a mini-stroke at the same time. Doctor couldn't tell us if he did or not as my husband refused to let me call an ambulance for him at the time. It was several days afterwards when he managed to get in to see a doctor. Here, if an ambulance had come out and he refused to go with them, we would have still had to pay the ambulance. We couldn't afford it. The ambulance EMT's couldn't make him go with them as long as he could communicate clearly. I was mad at him and nagged him afterwards to get a doctor's appointment right away, and resorted to crying when he told me no. I don't do that often, but when I do, he caves. He did this time to. Can't use that ploy very often as sooner or later it won't work; maybe when you really, really need it to do so! Like crying wolf one time too many! Our health isn't something we should mess around with! You guys keep up the good work.
