  • I want to take a second away from the scanner radio hobby to talk about my battle with Prostate Cancer.
    I'd like to share my story as a warning.
    If you are one who skips yearly physicals, I hope this persuades you into going to the doctor this year.
    Why?
    Because it was a simple blood test at a physical that uncovered my Stage 3 Cancer.
    I had no symptoms. There were no flashing lights or red flags. And only a doctor's check box on a blood screen uncovered what was hidden and lurking inside of me.
    This is a story of my diagnosis and treatment to date (presurgery).
    We'll return to our normal scanner radio content next week.

    I just found this podcast, web site, and UA-cam channel and have been voraciously listening to all the SDR related content. Fantastic information! So helpful and well done. Then I found this video. I hope this is only a temporary setback for you. Good luck and hoping for the best.

      Same here, I have been listening for a short while starting with episode 1 and I am currently up to episode 105. I am saddened to hear of this health setback. Prayers for him and his family.

    Came to the channel to learn about fire tone out... left 45 minutes later having watched your entire presentation here.
    THANK YOU for sharing your experience - both as a "PSA" (ba-da-bum-tissssch) for paying attention to your body and getting screened regardless, but also for sharing your journey so far.
    All the best to you and yours and I'm sure I speak for all reading when we hope the surgery went well and you're recouping as comfortably as possible!

    I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but I am thankful for your treatment.
    My son had me watch the Harry Potter series; it was much better than I thought it would be.
    Good luck with your continued treatment.

    I am a prostrate cancer survivor, I got mine at age 48. Mine was so bad I had to get my prostate removed in order to save my life. I’m now going on 63 this year and I am best friends with GOD the ALMIGHTY YEHOVAH through HIS SON OUR Risen LORD and ETERNAL KING YEHOSHUA HA MASHIACH. Trust in GOD my friend and fellow Ham operator from N3NDX..😊

    Thank you so much for this. I couldn’t even finish it without stopping to pray for you. It reminded me of some of the things my mom described when she went through chemo 2x. And off topic, but I’m going Wednesday for my 6 month follow up MRI on my meningiomas to check their progress for next steps. I’ve only told a couple of people in my family and friends because I don’t want them worrying until I know there’s something to worry about. FYI my moms hair grew back curly! So there’s something to look forward to!!!!

    Movie recommendations: Back to the Future trilogy, Casablanca, The Searchers (John Wayne) and The Quiet Man. We will pray for your long happy life, but more importantly what happens after. Thanks for sharing your story.

    God bless you and your family Phil. Thanks for sharing your journey. I can't wrap my head around the physical toll on top of a constant flood of emotions involved that you've all endured throughout this battle. You may not feel it yet, but you're doing awesome and looking great. Don't ever stop believing. F🖕k cancer. Hey, now you know you can pull off the badass Lex Luther look. 😉 Praying 🙏 for your continued healing. 💪

    Geez, that sounds terrible but so glad you are on the mend. I dont know how you continually done videos and work etc.
    I have many issues but glad I havent had cancer yet. My prostate was cleared about a year ago when I had pancreatitus.
    Thanks for sharing, this must have been so hard for your family as well. Keep at it and take care.👍
