Part 2: Prostate Cancer
Six men who are being treated in different ways. Sixty-three-year-old Eddy has early stage cancer which he has chosen to have treated with radiotherapy. Meanwhile, Arthur is adamant that surgery to remove the prostate is the best option – despite the fact that it will leave him impotent. Craig, who has advanced, incurable cancer, has had his quality of life enhanced by an innovative pain-reduction procedure. And Archie, who has had incurable cancer for eight years, keeps his cancer at bay with a new, unlicensed trial drug.
