  • Episode 32: A Bump in the Road
    Aug 13 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.

I also talk about how I've decided to take up fishing again - something I loved as a kid, and which I know will be perfect for the regular mindfulness sessions I was recommended to start.
