Gleason 8+9. Seven years in my fight with this cancer, I do get spells of anxiety and terrible fatigue, but it’s great to be alive. Be with my family and grandson. You’re doing well mate. Thanks James.

Your right my friend

They say there’s always somebody worse off than you, unfortunately Keep going mate😀😀

Hi Woody, hi from New Zealand. I too have stage 4 prostate cancer. Watching your video gave me a huge amount of inspiration. You put into words incredibly well how I am feeling. Thanks so much for loading these videos.

Woody, I'm stage 4 too, Gleason 4+5. That's the first time I've ever said that in public!, I'm happy, trying to be the best me in this current day, I've got undetectable PSA (after ADT & RT), this shit all awaits me in the future, It's all l coming my way soon, I know, but I still can't believe it.... WHAT A STRANGE FEELING!. I'm lucky never to have been sick in my life before now (I'm 76 yo). My plan is to keep my head up, stride on and look after my lovely wife & 8 beautiful little grandkids. Be strong - be grateful, my friend, for a really wonderful life in the best ever decade to be born in. Stroll on, you're an inspiration! John

Woody there was a traffic jam the other day and I got stressed and fatigue set in and I wanted to pee. Yes Woody it’s great to be alive even with stage 4 PC.

Woody,cancer is trying on a person. It tests your tolerance and patience for life at times. I just work through these moments. Thanks for sharing and verifying I am normal with cancer. Blessings brother.

I came out of Sainsbury’s the other day , thinking and moaning about some irrelevant nonsense and saw a young chap in a wheel chair who was disabled but he had the biggest best smile on his face, I smiled back , he humbled and reminded me that we complain about the stupidest and most trivial and ridiculous things on a daily basis. We should remember to live for the day. Loved your message Woody . Cheshire farmer,Best wishes, Fin

That’s it! It doesn’t matter. I was bellowing out the ABBA (more Gold) on the drive home from my first radiotherapy treatment for the node in my chest, today.

Great video my husband stage four like you it’s very positive it helps ❤️

It is nice to be alive, so true.

Rarely comment on any video, but your attitude and perspective is powerful. Great video.

That's a great attitude Woody. Sometimes it's tough to remember how lucky we are to just be alive.

Thanks for your thoughts whilst going through your journey. I'm seeing my urologist for 1st time this sunday to go over my 1st MRI scan results. My 1st and only PSA was 26 and was told my DRE was abnormal to the touch. I was told to expect perotineal biopsy at meeting too. Been catching up on some of your video's, loads to watch during my journey which i feel is about to start this Sunday, good luck mate 🤞🤞💪💪

Well done Woody. Your an inspiration.

Been going through the same thought processes. Trying to explain to my wife the exact same thing. We all have an enlightened experience going through this, that only we can understand. Appreciate your words, and going through the exact same thoughts. You put it into words. Cheers mate. Regards, Carl

Hi woody, you're absolutely right, it puts life into perspective..Makes us appreciate the smallest of things. Everyday is a gift..Love & hugs. ❤🫂

Superb Woody, thumbs up from me.

Very powerful, Woody. Thank you.

U are great sir love you ❤️

Sacrum. I agree about the worries. Of all the catastrophic things one imagines, only a small number occur. And that small number is more easy to deal with than you were thinking.

You are a special and accepting person.

Yes, controlling the potential negative thoughts is necessary Woody. Blessings brother.

Keep positive Woody. I had 6 weeks radiation therapy. It’s good that your PSA is stable and I presume that you are still on hormone therapy.

Well done mate. Radiation has becomed more focused over the years. 12 years ago, the radiation i received spilled over into the bowel and bladder. This time around, the radiation was more focused, and didn't have as much pain. We just keep going, shoulders back, and smash this, as Troy Hawke from the greeters guild on TH-cam would say.

Thanks for the update Woody. You're on the right track in understanding that the oncologists and therapists are going to give you the full list of possible side effects, while each of us has our own experience. Don't worry. If there's pain it can be managed, but you may have very little pain! Everything is worse in the anticipation. And your team will help you get through whatever comes. Best of Luck. Take your wife out for a meal, and stay positive! Reid

After second radiaton of the spine I got paralysis of legs, but before radiation my legs were already very weak, so I had two lose- lose choices: to accept radiation or not. I hoped radiation will help, bet very soon after finish of radiation treatment paralysis of legs came. My hopes have gone.

Thinking of you, you’ve been amazing throughout this process and I wish you all the best through the next stage of treatment. Hope to see you again at Baldock Services when you get a chance 🚑 🚒👍🏻

Radiotherapy will work. l have good vibes about your treatment. Stay positive.

Hi Woody, good news vital organs cancer free, get that spine sorted you be feeling loads better, I agree, we are the lucky ones of the cancer world ,I know people who would swap me in a flash if they could and like you i am Gleason 9 stage 4, get a experienced radiographer no trainees, I know they have to learn but not on us haha, trainee tried to do prostate biopsy on me ,missed 4 times, sitting target and missed 4 times, im laid there thinking WTF never again, Thank you heads up that beautiful book, hard back copy arrived last week, take care, good luck next few weeks keep posting i like to see what maybe coming my way down the line Phil

Woody look into actinium 225.

Thank you for posting Woody...sending you my best wishes🙏

Your words are a great help. My husband is a man of few words, bottles things up. He doesn't like to get upset in front of me, and vice versa.He always says he's fine but I know he's not and is struggling at times. He wouldn't go to or join any groups, he gets up in the night sometimes and just sits in the chair. He knows I'm there for him, I don't know what else I can do 😔

What kind of hormone treatment are you on?

Hang in there buddy, if it wasn’t for my faith in GOD I’m not sure I could have made it this far, going on 10 years

Been on Lupron for 4 years, the fatigue is crazy, can work out because of a broken back and can’t walk because of bad ankles and hips 🤷‍♂️

Enjoy your holiday Woody. Yes, we are connected by this disease, but in a good and positive way. Thanks for bringing us together.

Great information and video Woody. See you soon. Fin

Just bought. Thanks for the recommendation

Woody - always great to hear from you and so so respectful of your positive approach towards your prognosis. I had a very similar experience when I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer with Gleason Score of 5&4 back in March 2013. My urologist gave me a life expectancy of 2-3 years. With the blessing of the Lord I am still here today, 9th July 2024, albeit on end of life care. I found my oncologist had no interest in me as a human being. I was purely a number, entering his conveyor belt to go through his narrow consideration of available treatments without him stepping outside his strict code of practice. Thankfully, the Abiraterone hormone therapy was a Godsend and kept my PSA below 0.10. However, when my PSA started to double quite dramatically and with my insistence on looking at alternative forms of treatment he finally placed me on an intense course of 10 sessions of docetaxel chemotherapy. No explanation of the serious side effects I have since suffered nor any variation on his consultation approach. I finished my chemotherapy with my PSA at 12. No concern from my oncologist. I demanded a second opinion from The Royal Marsden, who despite being a leading prostate cancer hospital fed me the same NHS jargon as received from my oncologist. I then sought consideration for any appropriate trials. I was initially considered for a gene focused trial but unfortunately I did not meet the necessary criteria. I was then again referred by my oncologist to The Royal Marsden Hospital. They only had Stage 1 trials available where I clearly required Stage 2 consideration bearing in mind my PSA had now gone up to over 700. My oncologist threw in the towel in November 2023 and put me on palliative end of life care with an anticipated end of life by February/March 2024 and definitely by end August 2024. I found my clinical NHS care to be nothing more than appalling. I’m still here to tell my story due to the blessing of the Lord, my body’s response to Abiraterone and my own research and reading, The NHS at nursing level, my GP and my Hospice have been brilliant. The Consultants have not been up to the standard I had anticipated. I will purchase this book especially as the proceeds will all go to a great cause. Stay strong Woody and remember you need to take ultimate control of your care.

Giving hope is always good.

Thanks for your very kind words about our book Woody.

Woody, have you ever heard of Rapamycin? It's an anti-rejection med that some are repurposing for longevity and cancer fighting properties. I'll attach a link.... might be worth a look into. th-cam.com/video/fJZN7UPyB9Y/w-d-xo.html

Woody, you are a great human being.

❤

I like your attitude Woody. Best wishes, Fin

Good luck, from Italy

>>Undetectable levels of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) have been reported from the first patient with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) to ever receive two cycles of Clarity’s 67Cu-SAR-bisPSMA at the 8GBq dose level. PSA is a marker of tumour burden, clinical response to treatment and an indicator of the recurrence of disease for prostate cancer.<<
