219: The Poet Who Didn’t Know It, is back! - Steve Jones 5 years post prostate cancer treatment 05/07/2026

'The P***s Project' podcast with friend & fellow survivor, Steve Jones.

"What started as one man trying to make sense of prostate cancer became poetry, advocacy, and a way of helping other men feel less alone.
In this episode of The P***s Project, Melissa is joined again by Steve Jones, known to many listeners as the poet who didn’t know it. Steve is now five years on from prostate cancer treatment and he reflects on PSA anxiety, recovery, poetry, weight loss, peer support, and finding purpose in the aftermath of a life-changing diagnosis. This is an honest, moving, and hopeful conversation for men, partners, and anyone navigating life after treatment.
Steve shares his experience of being diagnosed during COVID, having a radical robotic prostatectomy, and then feeling like he was left to work out the rest on his own. He speaks honestly about PSA anxiety, the emotional toll of survivorship, and the reality that even years later, follow-up testing can still stir up fear.
But this episode is not just about cancer. It is also about what can grow in the aftermath of a hard diagnosis.
Steve talks about how prostate cancer unexpectedly opened the door to poetry, advocacy, deeper connection, better health, and a renewed sense of purpose. He also shares his work with A Touchy Subject, where he helps facilitate peer support chats for men navigating prostate cancer, sexual recovery, pe**le implants, incontinence surgery, and the many challenges no one talks about enough.
Melissa and Steve also discuss the importance of early testing, why men need better access to holistic care after treatment, and how simple lifestyle changes like weight loss, movement, and resistance training can make a real difference to health, confidence, and recovery.
This is a moving, funny, wise conversation about fear, resilience, and making something meaningful out of a difficult experience."

From the ADT Educational Program:

Upcoming online classes for the Life On Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) Educational Program.

The next online classes will be held on January 14, February 9, and March 11, 2026, all at 3:00 PM Pacific time/ 6:00 PM Eastern time. If you know anyone who you feel would be interested in sharing this program with patients, please let us know so we can add them to our mailing list.

The online ADT Educational Program is a free resource to help patients manage ADT side effects and engage in healthy lifestyle behaviours (e.g., physical activity). The program provides support to both prostate cancer patients and their partners or loved ones.

Classes are offered monthly; patients are asked to register ahead of time at www.LifeOnADT.com. The class is a one-time, live (90 min.), facilitated webinar. After attending, Canadian patients are mailed a free copy of the ADT book (linked below).

In 2019, we published research data showing that the ADT Educational Program—i.e., the class plus the book — can significantly raise patients’ self-efficacy in managing ADT side effects. However, it is most effective if taken early, before patients are overwhelmed by those side effects.
