Woody, hang in there! You are an inspiration for me. Just now recovering from spinal surgery to remove prostate cancer tumors. I start IV chemo in two weeks which goes on for ten three week sessions. My goal is survival of course, but I have scheduled a cruise with my loving wife and caretaker to the British Isles in April. I think having a goal to look forward to and work hard for will help me survive. Stay strong and positive!
Hang in there sir! I've just started my journey with a PSA 30 and a Gleason score of 4+3. It has matastized out to my ribs. Started the hormone therapy and just finished the radiation theropy for that and starting the next round on my prostrate for the next 6 weeks. Keep fighting sir and know that fly fishing is a GREAT escape. On days I feel bad I tie flys and on good days I'm on the river (when not working) :) Yes, cancer SUCKS!
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.
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
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.
We all connected somehow in this great big beautiful universe. Please ensure you keep getting regular PSA tests for prostate cancer as it's hereditary. Thank you for your beautiful comments take care 🙏❤️
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.
It sounds strange but the feeling and thoughts you have are not caused by the prostate cancer it's how we chose to deal with it that makes the experience. If it was the prostate cancer causing those thoughts and feelings it would mean it would be the same for all of us. It's hard to get your head around this but when you see it then it can change so much, I hope that makes some sense.🙏❤️
I'm sorry you can't walk, but you can go anywhere in the world you want when you close your eyes and have a little bit of imagination, good luck on your travels in the mind 🙏❤️
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.
Wow did expect to be mentioned in the same breath as Chris Hoy 😊 Getting in from ork tonight the couch has beaten me but I'll be out for extra walks over the weekend 🙏❤️
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.
Sir during the remission period u will any kind of toilet problem? Recently my father says that he is facing burning problem sometimes ? It means his cancer is back?
Hi Gulshan , I've been having some quite severe pains when going to the toilet It's probably caused by the radiation over lapping onto the bowel. But the good news is it's got a little better this week and the bleeding has reduced. I don't know about your father my friend as I'm not a doctor, but if he's recently had radiotherapy it may explain it.
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
@@Livingwith-prostatecancer sir today my grandmother died I love her the most and my father is facing prostate cancer life is not at all easy for me I wish that I can died first before my father
Stay strong woody we are all with you Keith

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

@Livingwith-prostatecancer no my father is on Harmon treatment only but now he is facing burning problem sometimes

The PSA can fluctuate during the radiotherapy and after according to my oncologist.🙏❤️
