Episode 38 will be all about Prost Ross and his Member(s).  Ross had his Open Prostatectomy in 2013. It has already been 8 years since then.  We invited Ross to share with us his story on how and why he decided to continue to become a part of PROST and other support groups even though it has already been quite long after his diagnosis. For Ross, it was simple - it has become a part of his life.    Here’s what Ross can share to everyone who are still not sure whether to join a support group or not:    “Going into a support can ameliorate those feelings and fears; camaraderie in support groups is fabulous.”    Have a listen to Ross and his amazing journey from a patient to an advocate, together with his member(s). ;)  IF you're residing in Australia: Health line: 1800220099 - To talk to a Prostate Cancer specialist nurse  https://www.prostate.org.au/ ----- Thanks for listening.

Episode 37 will be about Cyberknife.    To start, Cyberknife® is defined as per below:    CyberKnife® System uses state-of-the-art robotic technology combined with real-time image guidance to deliver precisely-targeted radiation to cancerous and non-cancerous lesions almost anywhere in the body. Real-time tumour tracking enables the delivery of high doses of radiation with sub-millimetre accuracy, sparing surrounding healthy tissue and organs without the need for invasive immobilisation devices.   To know more about this technology, we have invited Peter Podias - the Director of Operations of 5D Clinics, the only private Cyberknife® clinic in Australia.    Peter will discuss how Cyberknife® works, what it does, what diseases it can help, the process, how much it costs, what are its short term and long term effects, and a lot more questions you might also want to know the answers to.   If you’re the one who's been looking for a few different options, this episode is surely for you.    This is also for you if you’re a sci-fi movie fan because as Melissa says, Cyberknife® is like something that came out from the movies.    It’s actually for everyone too who would love to know how much Science has evolved in terms of radiation therapy.    Have a listen at the link below. And don’t forget to share this episode with anyone who you feel can benefit from it. Thank you. ;)    Just for a bit of fun, see if you can say: "Peter Podias who is on the phenomenal Penis Project Podcast!” 3 times ------ Thanks for listening.

  Episode 36 is the story of a man who has had not one but two penile prostheses!  Meet David.  In one of our recent episodes, Episode 29, we spoke to Dr. Sofield about Penile Prosthesis.  Perhaps, you’ve been one of those curious bees who would like to know the experience - pros and cons - of having a penile prosthesis.  And this is it!  Listen to David who willingly shared his experience and proudly declared that he is on his 2nd prosthesis (his first one had worn out - he likes to say)!  All your questions about this procedure - from costs to how you use it -  will be answered in this episode.  And one good thing to note - it all depends on the individual. ;)   Also, heed how David really advocates for early testing - as this is a paramount step for prostate cancer diagnosis.   Enjoy!  ----- ----------------------------   The Penis Project Podcast is the place to come to find out everything you’ve always wanted to know about men’s health but were too embarrassed to ask.

  For this episode, meet the ‘recovery man ‘ Mish. Mish is one of our avid weekly listeners, all the way from South Africa! And we’re so excited to share his story with you.    Mish was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2019. Unfortunately, after his surgery, his penis stopped being mesmerising. He felt like he didn’t have the information that he needed to start the rehabilitation process but he had the knowledge that if he stopped using his penis, he might lose it. So he decided to look for resources on the internet. That’s where he found Victoria Cullen (A Touchy Subject) and then our Dr. Jo and finally, The Penis Project.    Listen as he shares his very candid story which includes;  penis pills, using a Vacurect, getting intimate once again with his wife, and a lot more stories we’re sure you can relate to.    Mish really took charge of his health and we hope that this would inspire you, too.    Have a listen when you click the PLAY button below.  ------ This week includes a special code to use on A Touchy Subject’s Pleasure Masterclass TOUCHY50 ------ Here are the links to the resources mentioned by Mish as well as his blog link:  A Touchy Subject Website - please check the resources page The Recovering Man website - Mish’s website ------ The Penis Project Podcast is the place to come to find out everything you’ve always wanted to know about men’s health but were too embarrassed to ask.

  Welcome to Episode 30 of the Penis Project podcast! And our very first episode with a couple talking about their experience - TWOGETHER!    Meet Judy and Punch who both were very willing to share their story.    Punch was diagnosed in 2017 after a routine blood test suggested by his new GP - totally by accident. And through all of this, Judy was with him.    Listen on how they handled their journey together - from diagnosis, to moving to Perth for Punch’s surgery, to post-op procedures and to doing injections as a team. Yep, Punch is an injection user! If you’re curious about his experience and what happens when you prick the wrong side of the penis, this episode is for you.   Plus, Dr. Jo will also explain what’s the preferred or ideal position (no puns here) when doing pelvic floor exercises and why mirrors can be of help to do them perfectly. ;)    Key takeaways:    Judy:    If you have someone to go with you, that's a huge thing - someone to back you up. :)    Punch:    All males, once you get to 50 (45 if you have family history) - go and get tested. Click the PLAY button now to have a listen!    CAVEAT:  Please note that we are not endorsing any of our interviewees procedures nor promote it.
