Initially, I experienced some difficulty while urinating, to the point where my bladder kind of hurt.

Immediately, I tried changing my habits. I cut back on alcohol almost completely, and tried to eat healthier meals more often in the week. I also smoked less.

I had agreed with this treatment plan, even though it made me anxious and scared, as well as a bit angry and discouraged.

Apart from these, I also took nutritional supplements and drank healthy green juices to support my health.

I suffered from fatigue, diarrhea and nausea/vomiting because of the treatment. I relied on my own medication and some prescriptions to get by; improving my diet also helped me cope with the side effects.

Since my diagnosis until now, I’ve maintained my healthier diet, and now ensure I eat more nutritiously on a daily basis.

I have plans to visit my partner's family on the east coast over the summer holidays.

I hope to travel to Asia sometime soon.

Ultimately, I want to live a full life that I won't regret, and be happy and healthy with my loved ones.

I feared the cancer might come back and I don't find it out fast enough to do something about it. I work on my fears by making sure I attend regular and frequent check-ups with my personal doctor for blood tests so he can test for my PSA level.

I am considerably less emotional when I think about my cancer now. I’m pretty neutral about it.

I think some people might feel embarrassed or ashamed to have prostate cancer, but we shouldn't be ashamed. All we can do is put our faith in our doctors and trust the process.
