Prostate Cancer Diagnosis & Surgery: My Personal Journey | PC Chat with Wes
In this episode of PC Chat with Wes, I share my full story of how I learned I had prostate cancer — and the life-changing decisions that followed.

From years of urinary issues to an unexpected diagnosis, I walk through every step: the tests, the biopsy, and the shocking moment I read the word “cancer” on my medical portal. I explain the choices I faced, why I opted for robotic surgery, and what the recovery looked like.

This is real talk — no sugarcoating — about what it’s like to go from symptoms to surgery, and why early detection is critical for every man.

💬 You’ll hear about:

The early warning signs I didn’t realize were connected to cancer

What a PSA blood test is and why it matters

How a trusted doctor and a friend’s advice guided my decisions

The pros and cons of robotic surgery vs. radiation

What “cancer-free” means — and what still needs healing

Why you need to talk openly with your partner and your doctor

📌 If you’ve thought about getting checked — do it. It’s as simple as asking your doctor for a PSA test. It could save your life.
