This page was supposed to finish on the above note and I was going to get on with other parts of the site, but, life being what it is,  I suddenly find that all the major decisions haven't been taken after all, there are still more to come. On the 20th August, 2003 I was diagnosed as having prostate cancer. Now, there's a turn up for the book, wasn't expecting that one. As with a lot of things where I need information I turned to the internet. Plenty of stuff there, most of it quite technical, and, by it's very nature, a little impersonal. I decided therefor to devote a section of this site to "Me And My Prostate". Here you will find out exactly how I found out about it, the tests involved, the treatment and it's effects as and when I receive any. I am not doing this to elicit sympathy from anyone but hopefully to help a lot of men who, like myself, are ignorant of this most common of cancers for men. To encourage them to take the screening process, a simple procedure in itself. This cancer can be cured if caught early enough, otherwise it will grow and spread without warning, until it is too late. In my particular case who knows, whatever happens I feel sure I will gain a lot from recording events as they occur.
