Adam’s Advanced Prostate Cancer Journey
Hi there, I'm Adam Wood. On 8 October 2025 I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, it having spread to my lymph nodes and bones. To say I was surprised is an understatement; in the previous fifteen years I'd been to the doctor twice, and never stayed overnight in hospital. I was the typical fit and healthy bloke, and had no inkling that I had prostate cancer until it was too late.

I'll be talking honestly about my feelings, good times and bad, and how my friends and family are coping. No sugar-coating, but no doom and gloom either - just a normal bloke hopefully putting some of the misconceptions about advanced prostate cancer to bed.

I describe my experience after several weeks of being on this treatment, and details the side-effects - from increased appetite and bone pain to man boobs.
In this episode I'll discuss my experience of MRI and CT scans, and subsequent lymph node and prostate biopsies.
All this completely new to me, having never had any more than an X-ray before.
What's the dress code, and where does that gel go?
