Prostate cancer worries: starting the conversation
An email promises a quick fix. Someone tells a frightening story. Or a joke makes it easy to say she'll be right and leave the subject there. Dick and Steve talk about the worries behind those reactions in Episode 5. The conversation starts with Steve's spam folder, then turns to embarrassment, asking for advice and Dick's own experience of physiotherapy. Episode 1 supplies the earlier story of the call from his doctor, and the edited Episode 6 transcript brings a partner's personal perspective into the discussion about intimacy. This page helps you find those conversations. It is not a medically reviewed list of myths, and the products or medication stories in the recordings are not recommendations.
