Paul's Story

Complete loss of ability and desire to have sex which has been very hard for my wife to understand.

I had 5 high dose treatments on a lesion in my femur, the main secondary that I had, apart from others in my lungs, kidneys, liver, ribs, sternum and spine. I had no side effects from the radiotherapy at all in fact I felt better quite quickly. I had not been able to walk for six months. This combined with the Degaralix trial I was put on, got me up and back walking my dogs within three months

Increased hot sweats and fatigue, again I forced myself to exercis

Sheer exhaustion, walking upstairs can leave me breathless and exhausted. In the first couple of months of the treatment I was really sick and felt lousy. Effects have eased off mostly now except for the exhaustion

I really hit the internet, I exercised more and I started taking herbal supplements, grew broccoli sprouts, apricot kernels. I stopped eating red meat and processed foods. I eat organic wherever possible and avoid all vegetable oils except olive oil. I cook with that or animal fats or coconut oil. I felt much better and my consultant agrees that it has prolonged my life. I was given a couple of years in 2015 and I am still here, it will soon be 10 years from when symptoms got bad. I was told only one in a hundred diagnose with stage 4 prostate cancer survive 10 years. I and my consultant (who calls me her miracle patient) put my longevity down to my treatments and my regime combined. I will make that 10 years
