2. His Cancer Journey
Type of Cancer
Dr. Elliott shared that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
How It Was Discovered
He was not looking for cancer.
Around age 47, he began having kidney stones every year like clockwork.
Because the kidney stones kept recurring, he asked doctors whether it was caused by:
genetics
DNA
diet
During the testing and blood work, doctors discovered that he had cancer.
His Initial Reaction
He said the diagnosis “took the wind out of” him.
As a preacher and leader, he had encouraged others for years, but he said it hits differently when it is you.
He described feeling shocked and trying to process the reality.
His Spiritual Response
He said the Lord spoke to him: “Why not you?”
He responded by deciding:
he would continue to trust God
this would not define or rule his life
he would be a witness through it
3. What He Shared About Cancer Detection and Staging
Importance of Early Detection
He stressed that cancer can become deadly if people do not do their due diligence to identify it as soon as possible.
He strongly encouraged people to get checked early and not wait until things become more serious.
His Understanding of Cancer Stages
He explained that people usually talk about Stage 1 through Stage 4, but he also mentioned a Stage 0.
He described Stage 0 as a condition where cancer is present but not actively doing anything.
His Own Stage
He said doctors initially found cancer in two areas of the prostate, which placed him at Stage 2.
Later, with further testing such as CT scans, they found a third hidden area.
What Determines Staging
According to what he shared, staging is based on:
how many areas are affected
the size or spread of the cancer
whether it exists in other parts of the body
4. Testing and Medical Evaluation
Why More Testing Was Needed
After diagnosis, he said doctors needed to determine:
the stage
the locations
whether the cancer had spread elsewhere
Tests He Mentioned
blood work
CT scans
X-rays
Why CT Scans Matter
He explained that CT scans help doctors determine:
the exact location of the cancer
the size of it
whether it is present anywhere else in the body
He said this matters because doctors do not want to treat one area and then later discover cancer in another area.
5. Treatment Options He Discussed
Radiation vs. Chemotherapy
He explained that the kind of treatment offered depends on:
the type of cancer
where it has spread
whether it has affected blood or bones
In His Case
Because his cancer had not impacted his blood or bones, radiation was offered as the main solution.
He said some people with more advanced cases may need:
chemotherapy
radiation
or both
Radiation Dosing Levels
He explained that radiation can be:
low dose
medium dose
high dose
Doctors determine the dose based on:
body composition
height
weight
blood factors
mathematical calculations based on treatment needs
His Radiation Choice
He said low-dose radiation would have lasted many weeks.
He chose mid-level radiation.
He said he went through about 7 treatments.
Why He Chose That Option
He said:
low-dose radiation could result in permanent side effects
mid-level radiation could result in temporary side effects
he and his wife were more comfortable with temporary side effects
Important Insight He Shared
He emphasized that radiation and chemotherapy are not guaranteed to work.
He said doctors had to wait 45 days after treatment to see if the radiation had taken effect.
6. Side Effects and Recovery
Side Effects He Experienced
He said one of the major side effects he experienced was:
fatigue
What That Looked Like
He said he could be active and then suddenly become very tired.
He described sitting down and unexpectedly falling asleep.
He also said the fatigue could increase as treatments continued.
Outcome
He said that by the grace of God, the radiation did take effect.

personal testimony
personal beliefs

For any medical decisions, people should still speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
If you want, I can do one of these next:
turn this into clean ministry notes with headings and bullets
make it into a handout
rewrite it in TruthMode style
turn it into interview notes with only the strongest takeaways
