#301: 10 Years Cancer-Free: My Prostate Cancer Journey and What I’ve Learned


Listen Later

It’s been 10 years since my prostate cancer surgery — and today, I’m sharing the full story of what happened, what recovery was really like, and what life looks like a decade later.

Hi, and welcome to Season 3 of Mark’s Prostate Cancer Experience.

In this episode, I reflect on the day I learned I had prostate cancer, the decision to remove my prostate, the bumps along the way, and how I’ve stayed cancer-free for 10 years.

If you’re a man newly diagnosed with prostate cancer, preparing for surgery, or living with the after-effects, I hope my experience helps you feel less alone and more informed.
