The unlikely duo raising awareness about cancer treatment side effects | Australian Story

• 00:01:22Framing: ADT 'does save lives but it can also have life wrecking consequences for some patients.'
• 00:10:24ADT explained: therapy to block testosterone 'because prostate cancer actually feeds off testosterone.'
• 00:10:39Informed-consent gap: when Craig's wife asked about mental-health impact, the oncologist said he'd 'only had one patient have an adverse reaction' — so she 'parked it.'
• 00:11:20Craig's onset within ~2 months: irritability, poor sleep, fatigue, visibly rapid aging.
• 00:11:56'Zero libido whatsoever' — described as the key troubling symptom.
• 00:13:31Tim on learning the frontline treatment for the most common cancer in men 'amounted to chemical castration': loss of libido, erectile function, bone density, muscle mass — with no mention of suicide risk in the consent discussion.
• 00:14:24'It absolutely feels like your masculinity is being taken from you... I consider myself entirely asexual' — plus breast swelling, genital shrinkage, and deep emotional vulnerability.
• 00:19:08Convinced ADT caused his darkest periods; calls the warnings 'entirely inadequate' and prescribing ADT without support 'medically negligent.'
• 00:19:50'We're chemically castrating millions of men all the time and not giving them any tools to manage' — the advocacy thesis.
• 00:26:32Balanced close: 'If I hadn't done ADT hormone treatment, I don't think I'd still be here... it was a necessary evil.'
