- TALKING PROSTATE CANCER.
In November 2014 Kevin Webber was told he may only have two years to live following a diagnosis of incurable prostate cancer. He was just 49.
More than seven years on, he has dedicated his life to making the best memories for his family and friends and raising awareness and funds for Prostate Cancer UK by undertaking thousands of miles annual during multiple ultra-running challenges. His story is mind blowing and we caught up with him to hear more.
One in eight men will get prostate cancer, so it’s important to learn about your risk and what you can do about it. You can check your risk using Prostate Cancer UK’s online risk checker available on their website [prostatecanceruk.org/riskcheck].
Ladies, don't be shy to gently nudge your partners, fathers or indeed any other loved ones into getting any worrying symptoms checked out. We definitely have a role to play.

9 months into my journey. Positive attitude and exercise are HUGE. Great video. Thanks
I had a routine blood test with elevated psa levels,3 months later still elevated,referred to urologist ,had a 2 second internal and then my nightmare began in 2018!
1week later I had an MRI ,results were stage 4,Gleason 9 metastatic!
Prostate part calcified so emergency removal 2 weeks later including lymph node removal!
2019 went on zoladex but had toxic reaction to the treatment,terrible side effects!
Psa has been monitored but highly elevated (pet and cat scans every year)
6 month ago monthly zoladex and new drug apalutamide!
Terrible side effects again and suspended treatment 4 months in!
Also on 4-5 OxyContin 20mg a day for bone cancer pain(I stopped the fentanyl patches due to constipation issues)
Currently still working with a physically demanding job( Carpet cleaning),I turn 60 this year!
I’m still kicking,I live day by day!
My body my choice !
Keep on fighting and stay positive
My level is T3a, which is outside the prostate into the lymph node, diagnosed in early 2018 originally terminal, sent on a trial called stampede, involving 6 bouts of chemo, HD Brachytherapy, 28 bouts of radiotherapy. was 3 years on Zoladex, came off after 3 years and now on surveillance, PSA test every six months so far PSA negligible. Many problems but still here at 76 enjoying life.
As to it being seen as an old man's disease the chemo nurse told me her youngest Prostate Cancer patient was 29 years of age.
Brilliant video ,i really admire this man, i have prostate cancer gleason 6 and iam on active survalance for nearly 2 years
Great video-thanks for this-I love your attitude ( stage 4 PC and living my life to the full!)
I am sure that exercise is a big part of dealing with this. I am stage 4 diagnosed 7 months ago. On hormone treatment and have just finished my radiation therapy. I have been out biking every day and I feel great on it. I am sure it has stood me in better shape to fight this-great to hear your story!
