Summary
Kenny joins Gabby on the anniversary of his Prostatectomy to talk about how the diagnosis affected him and the changes his body has gone through in the year since his operation. It’s also a frank and honest chat about how the couple have navigated this together – and yes, there is quite a lot of chat about erectile function! They also discuss the fear of saying the wrong thing in today’s world, how signing up to challenges can really help to keep you motivated around the 50 mark, and a rather memorable holiday story involving one delirious Kenny and a thermometer!
If you or someone you know have recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer, you might like to listen back to the special episode Gabby and Kenny recorded alongside Kenny’s Consultant Urologist, Declan Cahill. If you want to know more about Declan Cahill's work you will find his website here, and Prostate Cancer UK has some very useful links and resources, too. Crucially, like many men, Kenny did not experience any symptoms before his diagnosis and sadly we know that 1 man dies of prostate cancer every 45 minutes, so if you or someone close to you wants to get checked, ask your GP for a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) and urine test - two simple tests that save lives.

| 0:21.2 | Stevia leaf and provides the sweetness and crunch-like sugar, but without the calories. |
| 0:26.0 | It's a great alternative if you're trying to have a more balanced lifestyle. |
| 0:29.5 | It's available in a granulated form from a jar to spoon into drinks and also in tablet form, |
| 0:34.2 | which is great when you're on the go. Not only are they plant-based, but they're packaging |
| 0:38.4 | is recyclable, so it's a win-win. If you want to ditch the sugar, why not consider switching |
| 0:43.5 | to Truvia? With Truvia plant-based zero-calorie sweetener, you get all the sweetness of sugar |

| 0:52.5 | Hello and welcome to the midpoint. Today we have another family special and Kenny is back on |
| 1:04.8 | the podcast. I make this the fourth one, including the prostate special, which we dropped last autumn, |
| 1:11.8 | which was recounting the story of Kenny having a diagnosis for prostate cancer and then going |
| 1:19.0 | through having a big operation, his prostate removed, and the months after that. It really |
| 1:24.0 | resonated with a lot of people. We've had so much feedback from people who've said that they've |
| 1:29.4 | shared it widely and they found it really comforting, even if they'd had their prostate diagnosis, |
| 1:34.7 | or if they were worried about it, because of Kenny's honest assessment of the situation and how |
| 1:40.0 | candid he was. I think you, Kenny, because he's here alongside me, took an enormous amount of |
| 1:45.2 | comfort from that that you felt your experience could help other people. Then Kenny came back on |
| 1:49.6 | a couple of times and just shared general things to his family and life. Today is going to be a |
| 1:54.2 | mashup of all of that because we are on the anniversary of that operation. It's a whole year since |
