Summary
The Midpoint is back and in this very special episode, we’re starting with a story close to Gabby’s heart. In a series of candid conversations between Gabby and her husband Kenny, together they chart his journey with prostate cancer.
From shocking diagnosis to surgery finally, recovery, you'll join them at each stage hearing the pre-op jitters, the challenges faced afterwards and the answer to that critical question: how's the sex life?
On the way, they meet Kenny's consultant Urologist, Declan Cahill who explains what's really going on in the prostate and the operating theatre. He also debunks some of the biggest myths surrounding the third biggest cancer killer in the UK.
It's National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and we know that 1 man dies of prostate cancer every 45 minutes. 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.

| 0:06.1 | last 40 or so episodes, you'll know that we cover a range of issues affecting mid-lipers. |
| 0:10.6 | Alongside the lovely well-known people who've come on to chat about everything in their lives |

| 0:21.1 | get older and huge mid-life gear changes. We also have experts pop on from diet and exercise |
| 0:26.9 | and science and beyond. Now my husband Kenny has always been a very loyal listener to the podcast |
| 0:32.4 | and after episodes which touched on HRT and hormonal changes in women he wanted to know what was |
| 0:38.0 | happening inside his body. I explained to him that women's hormones drop off a cliff and men's |
| 0:43.6 | tend to drop off a little bit more slowly but he was curious and booked himself in for some tests. |
| 0:48.8 | What he found was not what he was expecting. He wanted to share his story because he feels |
| 0:54.0 | it's important to use this platform and make men of a certain age aware of a very simple test |
| 0:59.2 | which could change their futures. This is the prostate episode and everybody involved in this has |
| 1:05.5 | given their time and efforts gratis in support of raising awareness of the biggest cancer killer of men |

| 1:24.8 | this year and on the 8th of February 2022 Kenny was told that he had prostate cancer |
| 1:33.8 | and that was a bit of a shock wasn't it? Yeah it was a shock because I had gone to see the specialist |
| 1:46.4 | Declan probably 14 months before that because I listened to your podcast about people |
| 1:54.8 | women getting checked and your HRT and all the things that change women. I wanted to make |
