Welcome to the Prostate Cancer Patient Empowerment Program (PC-PEP) Podcast! 🎙️ Episode 5.
This initiative is proudly funded by Movember through a Health Equity grant awarded to Drs. Gabriela Ilie and Rob Rutledge and delivered in partnership with the Prostate Cancer - Patient Empowerment Program (PC-PEPTM) at Dalhousie University.
In this episode, we hear from Matthew, a PC-PEP participant whose story reminds us that life can shift in an instant.
Matthew describes himself as “just bumbling along” — living a quiet life, trying to stay healthy in his 50s — when a routine check-up led to a series of blood tests, and ultimately, a life-changing prostate cancer diagnosis.
In this honest and reflective conversation, Matthew opens up about:
What it felt like to receive a diagnosis out of the blue
His experiences navigating care as a gay man in a system that often overlooks LGBTQ+ needs
The emotional impact of confronting mortality
And the ways that PC-PEP helped him regain a sense of control, hope, and community
This episode highlights the importance of early detection, inclusive healthcare, and the role of daily, science-informed actions in supporting healing. Matthew’s voice brings attention to experiences that are often invisible — and reminds us that empowerment means being seen, supported, and equipped with tools for recovery.
Whether you’re a patient, a caregiver, or a healthcare professional, Matthew’s story offers valuable insight into the human side of cancer care — where identity, self-advocacy, and evidence-based support intersect.
