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

A new challenge walking for Prostate Cancer research
It’s raining again, I’m wanting to get out and walk a bit. My target is 6000 steps a day and I’m going to increase that if my body allows it as the months move on. The plan is to walk 10 miles from Dungeness to Dymchurch along the beach front on the 1st of June […]
Scanxiety PSA results and coping techniques.
This week I’ve at long last got the results back from my scans some of which stretch back to the beginning of November, it’s a hell of a long time to wait. I’ve learned to put it out of my mind as best as I can. I’ve learned to distract myself from the fear the […]
Living on ADT therapy
It’s that time of the month for me again the PSA test and the hormone injection along with the daily enzultamide tablets all of which make my mind a kaleidoscope of mixed emotions. The PSA test I have started to dread more and more as recently my numbers are creeping up, it’s Christmas so for […]
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!
