Hope all goes well. A very close relation and his wife have both had the C in the last 18 or so months and one had Chemo and is looking very good. The other had hormone treatment and it’s worked or working.

In both case probably just caught in time.

I had C in 2007 but got away with it because my bike riding gave me an early warning to seek help. Very lucky again. Just because I had difficulty sitting on my bike saddle, I tried 3 different saddles then to the Doc’s. After a mad dash from mid France.

Reading the papers men seem Pre dominantly get prostrate cancer. They used to say at 50 get checked but are the slightly younger ones being caught.

The ladies breast cancer and it appears that’s not as easy to spot signs.

Regarding us males there are too many over weight men which may cause heart trouble in some form.

I didn’t think that I would have a heart problem but did in 2023 hence 3 stents. A possible warning given in 1992 during a Diving Medical so was careful but still !

One thing that I know the person that can spot possible health problems is yourself. I put that down to the training to be a diver and then an instructor.

Unfortunately a lot of people seem to pass off minor problems but then they turn into big problems.

That was for diving related problems but you learn other bits because of things like a diver can have a heart attack during or after a dive just because of the exertion required.

The biggest problem these days is that it can take nearly 2 weeks to get a doctors appointment.

Stay safe all
