Meet The Prostate Cancer Coach - Two Time Prostate Cancer Survivor
I offer guidance and clarification to men and their partners who are often at a loss when faced with the challenging and emotional decisions that surround the prevention, detection and treatment of prostate diseases. -
Week 1 - Radiation After Prostate Surgery –Lots Of Concerns
Really concerned and scared as treatments start today. I don't know what to expect. I begin to involve family members as the week goes on. -
Week 2 - My Personal Journey To Defeat And Destroy Prostate Cancer
As the second week of treatment at Hartford Hospital's Cancer Center begins the need to speak up become clear. Really important to have your spouse along for support if possible -
Week 3 - Reactions To Radiation and Lupron Treatment
Things are changing now really feeling the impact of Lupron. Issues regulating body temp - chills, hot flashes, night sweats. Watching what I am eating and drinking. Always need a full bladder prior to treatment -
Week 4 So Important To Stay Positive During Treatment
The need to keep positive and not get down as changes happen. Also answers to questions men and their partners have asked me as I have done treatment.. What kind of radiation? How can PSA rise after your prostate was removed 5 years ago. -
Week 5 – Prostate Cancer Treatment Issues e + Conversations Other Men
Appears the Lupron is really ramping up. Sleep issues now only 4 hrs a night and getting very tired during day. Have been speaking with many men and partners who have called me asking for clarification on my treatments and what questions to ask their Doc. -
Week 6 - So Many Men And Partners Asking LOTS of Questions
I appear to be in the group of men who responds well to radiation treatment. Always nice to hear good news
Speaking of good news getting lot of calls from men and partners signing up for our "Its Just Coffee" chats. Many questions on the non-surgical treatment options now available to men. Most relieved to learn if prostate cancer is caught early - it can be treated -
Week 7 - Radiation Brings On Exhaustion, Hemorrhoids And A Question
A guy called me apparently because his MD told him not to get a PSA test. Also I am at a point where the radiation is bringing on all the fun of hemorrhoids and more. Been told it will all ease up in a few weeks.Oh joy -
Week 8 - Final Week Of Radiation Treatment Plus MD Interview
We look at what the future holds for me and discuss the need for men to take charge of their health. Also how women can play an important role in motivating the men in their lives.
