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.

In this weekly podcast I'll be sharing my experiences, from biopsies and scans, hormone therapy and side effects. 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.

    Episode 32: A Bump in the Road
    13 Aug 2026

    In this episode I talk about the meeting I had with my consultant to discuss the blood test I had after the end of ten months of treatment. To my shock the PSA level has risen - meaning either a temporary spike caused by the targeted radiation, or the cancer has resumed its aggressive growth.

    In this episode I talk about the various medication I've taken during my ten-month treatment plan; the benefits and side effects, both short-term and long-lasting. I also mention the horrible industry in selling supposed 'cancer curing' pills online, exposed today on the BBC News website as a result of an undercover investigation.
