2018 was the inaugural Outback 4WD Adventure event to raise funds for prostate cancer research in Australia. Since then we rallied in 2019 but Covid19 meant we had to wait till 2022 for the next one. We'd love to see you on one of our iconic SE Australian rallies.

This legend and father-of-four is Mark. 🙌

He was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer.

“In 2021, I was having a lot of urinary problems, and I was having to stay close to the toilet,” he says. 😔

“Back then, my PSA was 5.8, and I was referred to a urologist through public health. They did an MRI, and there was a 7mm diameter lesion on my prostate. They put me on medication to reduce the prostate being enlarged, which worked so I did not have to frequently run to the toilet. 👍

“After that, I didn’t worry about it, but at the start of 2024, I was having a few niggling pains, which I put down to urinary problems. 😟

“I usually get checked every year around April when I get my PSA test done because my dad died from prostate cancer. I started getting checked when I was 45 years old. 💉

“My PSA had doubled from 8 to 16 in the space of 12 months, so my GP said we had better get you to a specialist, which at that time I couldn’t afford, so he put me on the public system, and I waited for three months. ⏰

“It doesn't do your mental health much good when you just want some answers. I returned to my GP, who referred me to a private urologist. An MRI revealed the lesion had grown to 10mm. I had my biopsy in August, and that's when it came back with a Gleason score of 3+4=7. Bone scans and CT revealed it was still contained in the prostate. 😞

“The biopsy cost me $4,000, but at least I got the answers. The urologist was keen on doing surgery ASAP; his estimate was shy of $15,000, but I couldn’t afford it, so he referred me back to the public system. 💰

“I’m still waiting. On 8 October, I have an appointment with a public urologist. 🤞

“I remember coming home when the doctor told me I had prostate cancer. I was just so emotionally upset about it. 😥

“I didn’t talk to anyone for a few days. I was angry. I only retired 12 months ago, and we were touring around Australia and only got to do half of it. 😡

“Because we live out in the bush, I was thankful to be able to ring a prostate cancer nurse at PCFA and have a chat with her. I felt a lot better after talking to her because I didn’t have a clue about what other treatments there were besides surgery. ☎️

“She directed me to all the materials on PCFA’s website, which was very helpful. It was a comfort talking to her. She also suggested some support I could find in Rockhampton. ☺️

“Because you’re sitting around and waiting, you become depressed. I manage it and know how to pull myself out of it, but waiting around is frustrating. 😟

“If you know you have a family history of prostate cancer, please get yourself checked. Please do your PSA test now. I know my grandad had it but didn’t die of it. My dad definitely died of it, and now I have it. I am married and have three sons and a daughter, and now I constantly talk to them about it. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

“To all the dads out there, please talk to your sons about prostate cancer.” 👨‍👦‍👦

You’re among friends here, Mark. Cheers for being a champion. 💙
