Conquering Stage 4 Cancer: How I Deal with Scanxiety

Описание: Today’s video comes fresh after the 10 mile walk yesterday to raise money and most importantly the awareness of prostate cancer here in the uk.
Today I’m talking about a few tips I have used to beat the scanxiety that many of us quite naturally go through when living with cancer and through the various treatment process we go through.
The golden rule is it’s all in the mind and it’s what you do with your mind that makes a huge difference to how you cope.

I’m sharing the link to my just giving page if you wish to put something towards our total for the walk which goes to a charity called Prostate Cancer Uk



Thank you for watching this video, I’ve been making these videos as a vlog sharing my journey through Advanced Metastatic Prostate Cancer.
My world literally fell apart on Sept 15th 2021 when I was diagnosed with Advanced Prostate Cancer which according to my Oncologist is incurable (although ive never accepted that) Questions such as how long have I got left how bad is it , in fact, a whole host of frightening thoughts, where sudennly swarming around my mind and exploding at opportune moments when I felt most vulnerable.

If i were to be honest, I was lost and lonely to begin with. People don’t know how to deal with someone who has stage four cancer. It’s a taboo subject. I honestly didn’t know who to turn to for help. It can be a dark place and I only wish I could of found a channel such as this to help me through those early days.

I started writing a blog whilst I was in hospital and recovering at home after the initial treatment phase.

I then decided to make this vlog because it seemed a better way to get my story out there. I want to provide a channel where I would continue telling my story for as long as I can and invite comments from others that can also help and share their own experiences.

Cancer can be a lonely place, and I hope this channel will help someone else who may be a bit lost and feel alone whilst dealing with their own diagnosis and experience.

Nothing is ever as bad as you think it will be, and that seems to the case so far with my experience with Prostate Cancer.

Thank you for watching. Please comment and subscribe if you feel like it, and please share the videos with anyone you think may find them helpful
