Frequency: 1 episode/4d. Total Eps: 6

How I got my life back having been told (for the 2nd time) I have Terminal Cancer.

This time, without mainstream treatment, apparently, it’s less than 12 months. I’m just about to enter my 8th year since my first diagnosis.

I’m not buying the mainstream narrative this time. The only ‘definite’ is that I will suffer side effects of the treatment. Frightening. This time, I’m rolling the dice.

Told through a series of bi-weekly regular episodes and scheduled 'real-time thoughts,' THIS IS MY STORY LIVE NOW.

Alone (short poem)

Friday, June 27, 2025 • Duration 02:48

You're alone with your thoughts or so it seems

But then there are all these faces of people some you may know

A crowd, everyone saying something different

You're trying to listen

But you don’t hear anything

Just a noise

Then they're all gone

Alone again 

Time passes like small grains of sand through a hole

Never coming back

Your life one piece at a time disappearing

That’s no different for everyone

Ask yourself

Is it different from yesterday now that you have Cancer?

Think about your thoughts, they're important

Every day from now on you're alive until your not

So living is more important than it’s ever been

You have the advantage, you should know that

Make a change small or big, your choice

I did and I have no regrets 

Oh and don’t think about how many grains of life you have left

No one knows the answer

OK, well don’t just stand there

You're alone, get on with it

You make it count, you hear?

The Treatment

Wednesday, June 25, 2025 • Duration 09:59

Treatment began in 2018. They didn't tell me I’d been chemically castrated until 2024.

I had an eighteen-week course of treatment, including chemo, in July 2018. The hormone injections were ongoing for several years until I stopped them and refused further mainstream intervention.

The Book that changed everything 'The Cancer Resolution'

Saturday, June 21, 2025 • Duration 05:24

One of the big influences for me was a book I came across called 'The Cancer Resolution - Cancer reinterpreted through another lens' by Mark Lintern. It asks questions like why oncologist claim definitively that cancer is a genetic disease and the treatments that they provide are the most effective available.

Things began to hit me when I realised everything is based around a 5 year survival rate not a cure rate. Be prepared for that. You should ask questions, push the boundaries, do you own research. You may not believe all the information, this is something you have to discern for yourself. Go on what sounds logical and what your gut tells you. Good Luck.

The Beginning

Wednesday, June 18, 2025 • Duration 10:03

I’m going to take you back to pre 2018.

It never accured to me that I must have been living with cancer for a while ... a year, two years, who knows.

I don't know how long before July 2018 it started. That constant need to go to the toilet ...

The Dilemma

Wednesday, June 11, 2025 • Duration 04:09

You have advanced prostate cancer. But right now, you feel great.

Side effects of a drug they want you on are the symptoms of the disease.

Symptoms you don't currently have. Right now, you feel great.

They can't say if the drugs will help or not. But the side effects are a given.

What do you do?

"So. Apparently I'm dying."

Monday, June 9, 2025 • Duration 07:56

How I got my life back having been told (for a second time) I have terminal Prostate Cancer.

This time, without mainstream treatment, apparently, it’s less than 12 months. I’m just about to enter my 8th year since my first diagnosis.

My dilemma now is they want me to go back to the hormone treatment even though I have no symptoms. I’m fit. I play golf 4 times a week, practice yoga twice a week and general gym work most days. I’m not buying the narrative this time. The only ‘definite’ is that I will suffer the side effects. Frightening. This time, I’m rolling the dice. THIS IS MY STORY LIVE NOW
