119. Young Peter Pan’s Prostate Cancer Journey

119. Young Peter Pan’s Prostate Cancer Journey

Today, we speak with Peter Pan.

Peter was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at the age of 56, thanks to his GP noticing a slight increase in his PSA. Given his family history of Prostate Cancer, they did further investigations immediately.

The news was devastating and a bit shattering. However, Peter got himself ready for treatment and surgery. This part is what he found the most frustrating - deciding the next steps.

Peter considers himself lucky throughout the process. Post-op, his continence was perfect according to Dr Jo. He also had some return of erectile function in just a few months.

Peter’s story today will discuss how he decided which treatment was best for him.

You can consider this episode an A-Z of one mans journey, which may assist you in yours. It's also a reminder of why it is important to get yourself tested as early as possible.

Various topics that were discussed in this episode include the following:

  • Why having Dupuytren Contracture (please see here for image) predisposes you to develop Peyronies (penile curvature)
  • How and why penile pumps are so important
  • Org*sms after prostate cancer surgery
