Prostate Cancer: What's So Funny About That?

In this episode, Dr. Brad Miller and Deb Krier discuss the unique intersection of cancer and comedy. Dr. Miller shares his journey from his prostate cancer diagnosis to using humor as a coping mechanism. He talks about his experiences, from incontinence to impotence, and how humor allowed him to handle difficult situations. Drawing inspiration from comedians, he even took a comedy workshop at Podfest, which led him to perform a stand-up routine about his cancer journey. The laughter, he says, is not to make light of the disease but to offer a more positive outlook on life's challenges. Dr. Miller also introduces his "AX pact" (Action, Connection, Thinking strategically, and Serving with love) to turn negative experiences into opportunities for growth. He emphasizes the importance of staying active, connecting with others, and thinking strategically about one's future. His work culminates in a book about finding humor through cancer and life's hardships, reinforcing the idea of healing through hope and humor.
