    Dear Stephen. You are never boring. There is a myriad of us out there who care what happens to you. All the best with your recovery.

      This genuinely could've been a video of just him counting to 100, and the last thing in the world it would be is boring.

      gespilk who cares? He's a wonderful, warm, intelligent and caring person. That's what matters in the long run, no?

      One of my friends had cancer, he was in his twenties (very unlucky). The cancer treatment caused him to have a stroke and he basically lost function of one side of his body, leg, arm and vision were affected.
      And because life loves to kick you when you are down, his girlfriend felt more sorry for herself then him when he got the stroke. She started to show the classic signs of planning to leave him, right after the stroke. Not to look like a totally terrible person, she stayed a few months before leaving him.
      She is a disgusting person, I knew it the moment I met her but I said nothing because he seemed happy and content. This all happened many years ago but I still am thinking about it and second-guessing myself about it. All those lovely "what if" scenarios.
      What do you think? Would he have been better off without her when he got the stroke?
      On the good side he survived and have a pretty good life because of his friends and family helping him constantly now but I still worry about him.
      She even deleted his facebook account a few weeks after she had left him. It were never confirmed but it is her style and she knew his login information. All those pictures and memories gone. Probably because there were pictures of her and him in the hospital. Removing the evidence of what she really is.

    Full wishes for a speedy recovery. We are born and bred of Norwich with the wish to entertain while providing information to people, something that I feel was inspired by yourself. This is an important message, and I hope more men will be open to getting checked. It has always been taboo but I suppose it's messages such as this which may well make it a lot easier for us to talk about these problems and admit to them. If one thing cancer is good at, it's hiding away from discussions because of its nature. Perhaps going forward we can all reflect and be more open about it.

      What a brave and informative video Stephen, thank goodness thst you have a very vigilent doctor a lesson there to all males to get their PSI level checked. Here's wishing you all the very best for a long and happy life.

    • @labbadab
      @labbadab 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @DYKGaming, Bless you love -
      You have summed that up beautifully and I believe it highlights the truth that males in general must check themselves like us women do and, of course, never be afraid to visit their Doctor for regular checkups as well as if they feel something is not right, as like Stephen himself shows can prove vital in detecting anything astray or maybe not otherwise noticed as important healthwise to a male.
      - if he had not gone for his annual influenza injection, then his cancer may not have been found sooner and action taken so swiftly and could have progressed even more, perish the thought.
      Stephen is indeed a very special gentleman in so many ways, one of our national treasures, I love him to bits, bless his heart.
      And yes, I wish him a full recovery but just as importantly, I like you said, agree totally that he has really helped
      ( judging by the males within this comment section )
      how immensely important it is to openly speak about male health and any kind of health issues such as prostrate cancer etc, men's health in general like women's too, should not be a taboo subject or a something hidden away, but openly natural to discuss and, without embarrassment.

    Thanks so much for your message Stephen and may your recovery continue. It would be rather nice to have you around for a long time yet. You've given me a reminder, I'm a young and healthy 75 year old, I think I'm doing well but I'll bring it up with my doctor whom I'll see in just over a week. One can't be too careful with cancers of any type although I dealt successfully with one about 45 years ago. A slightly older friend of mine had some kind of treatment for a prostate problem and he didn't experience any pain at all, he was rather amazed at how painless the procedure was. Many thanks for your alerting us older guys to the problem.

      Did you not watch the video? He made this months after he found out, because he didn't think anyone would care before, plus he didn't expect this type of reception, just thought it would be a small update video.

    The words "national treasure" are thrown about all too often, not unlike the word "genius". You sir are both, but much more importantly a decent man who genuinely cares about others. If there was any man deserving a knighthood it is you. I also owe you a massive debt for how your openness has helped my daughter on her life journey, as I know it has many for many thousands of other people. I too found real happiness later in life, and I fully understand your comment about enjoying life at the moment. I obviously wish you a full recovery both physically and mentally and I certainly wish you many more years of happiness. Take care, look after yourself and tell your husband the nation expects him to be spoiling you, and thank you for being you.

  • @MrOrmesby

    Well done Stephen Fry for putting Prostate cancer in the spot light. It has to be one of the biggest killers of men in the U.K. By our very nature, we tend to ignore the possibility of anything being medically wrong with us. If just one man is inspired to visit his G.P. after watching this video... and as a result has his cancer detected and treated in time, then this video has been very worthwhile.
    I wish you a speedy recovery Stephen.

      if gays admitted they are "abnormal", id be cool.......but we will end up "full circle"...mark my words...in the next 10-15 years youll have examples were straight men are "shamed" for being into women (and I think the whole "mee too" agenda will act as a Catalyst for this and play into it)......you might find an example where (when governments keep records of our web searches),any prominent media/public figures who speaks against government marxist agenda can potentially have their searches "leaked" and be shamed for (for example, googling a pair of tits).........so youll have examples of straight men being shamed and publically humiluated in public for being straight and liking a pair of" big tits"(or whatever the fuck he is into)...............................we will come "full circle" and the gays (who for years have been saying that they shouldn't be "shamed" for being gay) will be the biggest hypocrites of all by not rushing to the defence of a straight man who will be publically shamed for his sexual preferences (which he cant control,, apparently)...................................................but please,,if I'm wrong, please give me some assurances that the scenario ive presented wont come to fruition? it will help me sleep better.........................better yet,,,why isn't FRY speaking out against REAL issues like governments keeping all our web searches?..this is a massive infringement on our privacy rights....................im telling you,,FRY is a FRAUD!

      studmalexy grow up. Homosexuality is natural, found amongst many in the animal kingdom, and the me too movement is a platform to speak up about sexual assault/ harrassment, not ones preferences. It's honestly cowardly as hell and extremely juvenile to post this on such a video topic. Perhaps I could direct you to the nearest area with a colouring pad and crayons, since that's where your intelligence and decorum level seems to be. Your ignorance and unwanted opinion isn't welcome here. Go troll somewhere else with your abhorrent assholery. 0/10.

I'm no longer replying to anyone who can't form a reasonable coherent argument. I said what I said. This man is a national treasure, end of.

Mine came out in 2014 at the age of 54 , robotically, like yourself," never will happen to me" was my thoughts beforehand. Very pleased that it did not spread. I am now 0.000008 psa, and yes erections are not a problem after the 1 st 6 months. Enjoy life and keep up teaching the masses proper English, Kind wishes!!

      @ahanemone 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Aardvark 25 No, it does not cure cancer. Please stop spreading false information. It causes people to put off or cease getting treatment, or seeing a real doctor. A healthy diet may help PREVENT some forms of cancer or DECREASE certain risk factors BUT IT DOES NOT CURE CANCER. Trust me, I work quite closely with people being treated for a variety of cancers and never once has a fancy diet "cured" a single cancer. You should google Belle Gibson, an Australian scam artist spreading fake information and false hope to those suffering from cancer. Please educate yourself

There's a reason DOMESTICATED animals have a very high chance of getting cancer and other diseases while wild animals rarely get cancer. Because of their DIET

I’ve come, over the years to become infatuated with you, the same way I am with Peter Ustinov, and a number other brilliant individuals, some of which I do not know their names, but their work I was given so much to the world. You still have so much to give the world, not only in entertainment other facets of civilization, or that which makes civilized. Please, take care of yourself and remember you are deeply loved. I am delighted and comforted, that you have the support of your husband, without whom your road to recovery would be made far more arduous.

    Steven,
    You saved my life once out of the blue, when I was 50 (56 now) by explaining my life to me and the fact that I am bipolar in your amazing documentary. I and others are eternally thankful and praise you for that forever.
    Now not only do I feel for you in your present nightmare. I find myself feeling exactly the same I did, that second when you saved my life the first time.
    When you enlightening my thoughts and allowed my mind to make perfect sense over my never ending turmoil within my life.
    I have issues like you explained again, which again with your honest and true openness and heartfelt wisdom allows me to face up to the truth. Just, like you did before.
    SO!!!!! Yes, I will now get checked out and thanks again for saving my life, maybe twice now!
    Thank you ‘SO’ much Steven, I truly can say I owe you the life which I now have which I’m living to help street dogs in Asia and coming up with moral solutions to solve the world food issues.
    So when you lay there with fear or maybe a sad thought in your head. PLEASE just think of the smiles, the mornings, and the saved life’s your wisdom, honesties and that fundamental LOVE within you which you give and are still giving thought-out your own nightmares. It should bring a nice tear and a warm smile to you.
    If you give you get and you have given a lot, Sir!
    Love and Light my very good man.
    You are always welcome and loved in my life.
    Never forget that.

I chose nine weeks of daily radiotheraphy and have been on androgen suppression therapy or androgen deprivation for just over 2 years. Neither is nice, the ADT treatments change your body embarrassingly. However, you will do anything to stay with the people you love and protect, it's not so much dying as it is not wanting to leave the ones you love behind. GOOD HEALTH to you.

    The world would be a slightly darker place without you, Steve. I appreciate your candor and your wisdom has helped me, and I'm sure many others. So for our sake, I'm afraid, you're obliged to look after yourself!
