Never give in

My Story so far

Hi my name is Woody and in 2021 I was told the words that no person wants to hear, I’m very sorry to tell you but I’m afraid you have Cancer. It wasn’t just Cancer it was stage four Metastatic Incurable Prostate cancer, at that moment my world stopped turning and changed in an instant. Why me? How long have i got left? Its not fair!

It took me a while to get over the bombshell and then I decided to tell my story as it happened in words and videos in the hope it would help someone else out there.

If just one person can survive this then why cant I

This was to be my mantra going forward, I decided that no matter what i would try and fight this as positively as possible. There are numerous cases of people that have one way or another survived a stage four cancer diagnosis.

Having a cancer diagnosis at first seemed like the end of the world but here i am almost two and a half years later alive and kicking. this website is my story it has surprised me just how many videos and blogs I’ve done. Anyone just starting their own cancer journey might find this helpful, I really hope it does in someway then it would have all been worthwhile.

My blog the story so far

Past Blogs

Since my diagnosis of prostate cancer back in Sept 2021 I’ve been keeping a blog about my journey with stage 4 cancer.

I have tried to deal with my cancer in a positive way. I believe with all my heart that I will heal myself of this cancer. As my journey has unfolded, I’ve researched and learned so much about cancer and how people who have been staring at the precipice have somehow found something from within and healed themselves. The number of people who have healed from stage 4 cancer is in the thousands and truth nobody really knows just how many. I hope to be one of those and help others at the same time.

Nothing is impossible!

It’s ok to talk about cancer on the Driving Instructor Podcast with Terry Cook

A while ago I was given the chance to talk about my cancer on The Driving Instructor Podcast with Terry Cook. During this podcast we discuss how I discovered I have Prostate Cancer and how I’m dealing with it. You can hear how I first noticed something wasn’t right and how what was originally diagnosed as sciatica became so much more….

You can also follow my journey living with prostate cancer on my YouTube channel where you will find a number of short videos that explain my thoughts and feelings fighting this illness using positivity, kindness and gratitude.

My fight with cancer

My fight with cancer
Today I've just done two online interviews with radiotherapy stations in Kent and Southeast UK. I'm grateful to get the opportunity to talk about my own experience especially the early stages where I first found out. This gives me a chance to help perhaps stop a few more from getting advanced Prostate Cancer. Knowledge is key. So many people are ignorant of this cancer including me before I was diagnosed. So many people can be helped if we just spread what we know to as many people as we can. I hope you enjoy this video and you get your chance to spread the word about Prostate Cancer.🙏❤️ #advancedcancer #advancedprostatecancer #cancerstage4 #radiotheraphy #prostatecancer
It's been a while but finally I can bring some good news in my continued fight against Prostate Cancer #advancedcancer #radiotheraphy #prostatecancer Thank you for watching this video, I’ve been making these videos as a vlog sharing my journey through Advanced Metastatic Prostate Cancer. My world literally fell apart on Sept 15th 2021 when I was diagnosed with Advanced Prostate Cancer which according to my Oncologist is incurable (although ive never accepted that) Questions such as how long have I got left how bad is it , in fact, a whole host of frightening thoughts, where sudennly swarming around my mind and exploding at opportune moments when I felt most vulnerable. If i were to be honest, I was lost and lonely to begin with. People don’t know how to deal with someone who has stage four cancer. It’s a taboo subject. I honestly didn’t know who to turn to for help. It can be a dark place and I only wish I could of found a channel such as this to help me through those early days. I started writing a blog whilst I was in hospital and recovering at home after the initial treatment phase. I then decided to make this vlog because it seemed a better way to get my story out there. I want to provide a channel where I would continue telling my story for as long as I can and invite comments from others that can also help and share their own experiences. Cancer can be a lonely place, and I hope this channel will help someone else who may be a bit lost and feel alone whilst dealing with their own diagnosis and experience. Nothing is ever as bad as you think it will be, and that seems to the case so far with my experience with Prostate Cancer. Thank you for watching.
