Each participant granted a single, audio\u2010recorded, semi\u2010structured interview that was transcribed verbatim and analysed by thematic analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Five entangled themes were generated: (1) Silent onset: most men misread early symptoms as \u2018normal ageing\u2019 and delayed presentation. (2) Family arbitration: wives, sons and uncles often negotiated the choice between surgery, radiotherapy or androgen\u2010deprivation therapy. (3) Persistent corporeal shifts: urinary leakage and sexual dysfunction symptoms intruded on prayer routines, market visits and sleep. (4) Emotional oscillation: an initial surge of distress gave way to selective disclosure and gradual recalibration of self. (5) Faith as ballast: daily prayers, Qur'anic recitation and kin obligations supplied a stabilising counter\u2010weight to uncertainty.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Life after prostate cancer in Oman is shaped by biomedical sequelae, Islamic practice and extended\u2010family logic.
