This information is very good. You could have added emasculation a man feels. Mine still works. Sometimes. Being single does not help self image.

Best discussion of brachytherapy that I've seen, and I've seen a few!

I'm so sorry for what you've been through. My heart feels for you. I was diagnosed with low-level PC. I don't even like saying the word. I was diagnosed last year, and I'm on active surveillance. Thank you for sharing your story ❤️

Do you agree with the reporters statement that there are no early warning signs of prostate cancer? “Early prostate cancer usually causes no symptoms. While not common, symptoms of early prostate cancer might include: Problems urinating, including a slow or weak urinary stream or the need to urinate more often, “

Is there another ct dye alternative for people with dye allergies?

If PSA is less than .5 ng/ml with harmonal therapy Is it’s alright this should be continued Is there any advancements for treatment

Exercise will improve anyones life and this is not just for prostate cancer. I have had mine removed but have always exercised because i like it i am 68

Good on you for your incredible advocacy work. Raymond

What a great video and gives a wonderful overview of the good work these nurses are doing for men and their families

One of the best videos I viewed!!! Thank you so much!

So what's the treatment?

All thanks to Dr obehi herbal home on CZcams for helping me cure Bone cancer that almost took my life. Am totally cured 🤗🤗❤️❤….

I came within 18 hours of chemical castration (aka ADT, which they euphemistically like to call "hormone therapy") which is typically done in conjunction with external beam radiation. Neither my urologist nor my radiation oncologist ever suggested that avoiding chemical castration via brachytherapy might be an option. Via lots of research, I cancelled the hormone shot and now am past my second (and last) HDR brachytherapy treatment. Luckily for me, my cancer is small enough and localized enough that this has a good chance of being a successful monotherapy. For those out there who have been told they need external beam radiation with hormone suppression, I urge you to investigate the long term effects of chemical castration..... from what I can tell, you will never be the same. Logically, brachytherapy (either low dose permanent seeds, or high dose which is a quick but very strong 2-session exposure) makes a lot of sense as it delivers radiation most directly to the location of the cancer. There are also side effects to brachytherapy, of course. These include urinary problems (relatively short term), frequent urination. constipation, blood in urine and semen, and fatigue but these side effects are relatively short term (a few weeks, longer for the frequent urination) but PALE in comparison to chemical castration. PLEASE do your own research and do NOT just accept what the first doc says. A doctor is very likely to recommend the thing that they are specialized in and the method that their employer uses, be it surgery, external beam radiation with chemical castration, or brachytherapy. Yes, I am saying that I was treated as a customer just as much as a patient. Sad, but true. This is not like being treated for a broken leg where the solution is a no-brainer.... YOU MUST DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

Listen up guys. I just found this while looking to what others may experience after surgery. I'm at my 4th week post op and wish I would have researched before hand. I've just always been the type of guy that has that mentality ..."it is what it is, just do what ya have to do" If you come across this and may know someone getting ready for this surgery, please tell them that someone who has been through this recommended it. Going to make a video about my experience and definitely will link this Video. Thank You Australia!!

This is the best, honest , to the point presentation i've seen .👍Thanks Dr Stuart!👍

always the same shit , you are on your own !

Great message. When it comes to prostate health, Aussie men over 50 need to be more PRO-active and not reactive and have a discussion with their GP about their prostate and organise the PSA blood test (no gloves involved!!). This is coming from someone who is going through the same ‘journey’ as you.

Roger lived around the corner from us in Myee Crescent, Lane Cove West. He started out in radio then moved into television working for Channel 9 on the recommendation of Brian Henderson and then Channel 7.

Seven weeks post-op and I’ve seen plenty of lectures on these subjects but this is the best presentation I’ve seen yet. Very informative and in a serious, factual, pragmatic, and descriptive manner that makes it comfortable to view, easy to relate to, and very comprehensive. Thank you for recording this and making it accessible.

I concur with the notion of the waiting game. My cancer is stage 4 and is in the lymph nodes. The treatment will be apalutamide tablets + 3 monthly injections of Leuprorelin. Now is the question if it brings the psa down which at the last count was 78 and I'm curious if it works whence the waiting game. Thanks for the video it does give me an understanding of how things work.

I'm recently diagnosed with 4+3=7 prostate cancer. I concur very much with the notion that the waiting game from the decision to have an image made and then receipt of the outcome of the scan is very difficult. I have a pcma pet scan set for next week. The wait and the delays are very stressful. I feel as though my life is in suspended animation. Thank you for this video.

Pleased Australians have such a steallar team of thoughtful experts leading this crucial iniative 🙂

Thanks Ian.

This is excellent information, my problem is feeling a massive urge to go after lying down and ends up in an explosive fountain. Any help?

Love your work people. It’s great having you in my life!

Very informative!! Thank you! I had a green light laser prostate removal on March 28, 2023. I am having leaking and was recommended to have pelvic floor exercise therapy. The earliest appointment is November!

Thank you, Anthony. I am so sorry about your dad. It’s a cruel disease. But we are making the future better for others 💪🏼🙏🏼💙 Will

Mighty effort Will. I do the Long Run every September in honour of my Father who passed away coming up 10 years ago in January.This year I’ll be thinking of you as well as him for inspiration as I go about it. God bless you and your family. Kind Regards Anthony Dowling

amazing I miss Roger on tv especially australia most wanted

Gleeson score 3+4. PSA 4.0 - currently doing HRD Brachytherapy at PeterMac, Melbourne. Thus far one of two down, feeling better than expected, however let's await the period after 2nd (and presumably final) treatment. My current concern is the monitoring after treatment, as it appears that my PSA score did not indicate "an issue", hence is it suitable as an indicator post treatment? On the top of my list of questions.! Anybody has an answer/suggestion?

Best wishes Will in your amazing commitment to lifting awareness & understanding about prostate cancer. I thank you on behalf of my beloved husband David & the PC community!

Thanks very informative. As the wife of a 78 year old with a Gleeson score of 5+5 and post ADT and 45 radiation treatments, we find that he is still having bowel issues. Currently being investigated by his GP. However, its always good to see advances in Prostate cancer treatment. Thank you.

As a man who initially, not knowing my Gleeson score, I was going to have surgery. When I discovered that my score was 3+4 I quickly researched that and promptly decided to do radiation. Thankyou to the members of the panel for all the information. Obviously Peter' treatment did not affect his ability to sit on the bicycle seat. lol

Good luck Will and thank you 👊🏻💪🏼💙🙏

Great video. Another option is to use BTL’s EMSELLA chair. Non-invasive treatment with no down time will stimulate 11,200 supramaximal contraction targeting the entire pelvic floor

Has there ever been an opportunity for a prostrate transplant

Exactly, until recently I hadn't realized that Mario updated his favorite way to tackle ED and it's a relief! Although what he previously suggested was pretty good, it was a real pain to follow... I just go'ogled the latest in Volpstein’s Thunderous Erections, it's so much easier and potent now!

Thank you for this video! Can you please tell me if PSA 60 can be the result of infection? And it will normalize after antibiotic treatment? Or such high score is always an indication of cancer?

The regular contact from a pcr nurse has been very helpful. I am stage four.

No mention of Nanoknife and the lack of government support for such an expensive focussed 'experimental' treatment that is showing such successful treatment of localised cancer. An experiment that has been going on for 10 years.

Superb in clarity especially distinguishing anterior and posterior pelvic floor exercises

Best presentation I have heard on this subject

Great information thank you

Hi Doctor Teh, if I have both bladder cancer (non-muscle invasive) as well as intermediate grade prostate cancer, is it true that for the treatment of the prostate cancer I should not do radiotherapy, because radiotherapy will more likely cause recurrence of bladder cancer? Thanks.

What did help me was jogging. First few humndred metres I leaked but then my body started to kick in and I leaked less. It was the same each time but gradually less and less leakage. Good luck everyone
