Episode 38 will be all about Prost Ross and his Member(s).  Ross had his Open Prostatectomy in 2013. It has already been 8 years since then.  We invited Ross to share with us his story on how and why he decided to continue to become a part of PROST and other support groups even though it has already been quite long after his diagnosis. For Ross, it was simple - it has become a part of his life.    Here’s what Ross can share to everyone who are still not sure whether to join a support group or not:    “Going into a support can ameliorate those feelings and fears; camaraderie in support groups is fabulous.”    Have a listen to Ross and his amazing journey from a patient to an advocate, together with his member(s). ;)  IF you're residing in Australia: Health line: 1800220099 - To talk to a Prostate Cancer specialist nurse  https://www.prostate.org.au/ ----- Thanks for listening.

Episode 37 will be about Cyberknife.    To start, Cyberknife® is defined as per below:    CyberKnife® System uses state-of-the-art robotic technology combined with real-time image guidance to deliver precisely-targeted radiation to cancerous and non-cancerous lesions almost anywhere in the body. Real-time tumour tracking enables the delivery of high doses of radiation with sub-millimetre accuracy, sparing surrounding healthy tissue and organs without the need for invasive immobilisation devices.   To know more about this technology, we have invited Peter Podias - the Director of Operations of 5D Clinics, the only private Cyberknife® clinic in Australia.    Peter will discuss how Cyberknife® works, what it does, what diseases it can help, the process, how much it costs, what are its short term and long term effects, and a lot more questions you might also want to know the answers to.   If you’re the one who's been looking for a few different options, this episode is surely for you.    This is also for you if you’re a sci-fi movie fan because as Melissa says, Cyberknife® is like something that came out from the movies.    It’s actually for everyone too who would love to know how much Science has evolved in terms of radiation therapy.    Have a listen at the link below. And don’t forget to share this episode with anyone who you feel can benefit from it. Thank you. ;)    Just for a bit of fun, see if you can say: "Peter Podias who is on the phenomenal Penis Project Podcast!” 3 times ------ Thanks for listening.

For this episode, meet the ‘recovery man ‘ Mish. Mish is one of our avid weekly listeners, all the way from South Africa! And we’re so excited to share his story with you.    Mish was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2019. Unfortunately, after his surgery, his penis stopped being mesmerising.

So he decided to look for resources on the internet. That’s where he found Victoria Cullen (A Touchy Subject) and then our Dr. Jo and finally, The Penis Project.    Listen as he shares his very candid story which includes;  penis pills, using a Vacurect, getting intimate once again with his wife, and a lot more stories we’re sure you can relate to.    Mish really took charge of his health and we hope that this would inspire you, too.    Have a listen when you click the PLAY button below.  ------ This week includes a special code to use on A Touchy Subject’s Pleasure Masterclass TOUCHY50 ------ Here are the links to the resources mentioned by Mish as well as his blog link:  A Touchy Subject Website - please check the resources page The Recovering Man website - Mish’s website ------ The Penis Project Podcast is the place to come to find out everything you’ve always wanted to know about men’s health but were too embarrassed to ask.
