1957 Buick Cabellera...
There is nothing like a walk through time classic cars from a bygone era all in rows on display. it really takes me back..
The 2019 Annual Drive for the cure Canada (to raise Prostate Cancer awareness) held its annual car show at the Brampton Powerade Centre. there was a bevy of beautiful classic cars; so many wonderful automotive designs from years gone by and all in one place. there were well over four hundred cars on display. This is a 1957 BUICK CABALLERO ESTATE WAGON in deep red.

A year ago today, March 18th I was diagnosed with Advanced Prostate Cancer. I no longer have a Prostate and 99.9% of the Cancer has gone. This old battle scarred Tortoiseshell reminded me of the last 12 months.
The Charger...
.
The 1969 Dodge Charger. This shot is of the lovingly restored and modified 70's muscle car...It has been difficult not getting to go to car shows and other public gatherings for the better part of a year now since Covid19 changed our lives for what seems like forever. In September of 2017 i spent the afternoon at the Powerade center for the annual prostate cancer awareness car show... this weekend. the parking lots were stacked and packed full of old classics, collectors editions and unbelievable classic relics from the not too distant past. what a great cause and a super turnout. I cannot wait till things return to somewhat normal again. .

Prostate Cancer liveried 66769 on the 4L13 Doncaster-Felixstowe, Finningley, 24.9.21.
A composite image, taken 5 mins apart.

After grabbing a bite to eat in March following the late morning session at Manea station, I came here for the afternoon's westbound freights, although I'd already missed the first (which had a normal GBRf 66 on it). I'd been told this loco was "absolutely pristine", so wanted to make the effort to get a shot that included a good view of the loco. After this, I changed to a 135mm lens to do something different, from a lower level and more head-on.
High cloud made the light slightly soft (as reflected in the EXIF data), and this required a slight tickle in Photoshop.

Hi friends, I got home yesterday lunchtime from my last radiotherapy session in Wałbrzych 75 kilometres away just as this sudden snow came down. Glad I don't have to travel there every day anymore, particularly today as the roads are very slushy and slippery and it's still snowing!
This shot was taken early this morning from our front porch after 6 inches of snow seems to confirm that spring has NOT sprung yet as many believed it had -To jest Polska!!
My results are excellent and the therapy has so far been effective. Now it is regular checks for the next 2-3 years to keep safe.
To all the guys on here:
Prostate cancer is a silent killer and you never know you have it until it is often late. Read up on it and watch for small telltale signs and get regular PSA tests from the recommended age. I've been lucky and caught it at first stage as I kept my eye on things. The biopsies, tests and treatment are nothing to be afraid of. Just ask me if you want to know anything.
The most important thing is to stay POSITIVE.
I hope this warning may save someone. Take care.
Patrick

This strikingly effective street mural in Fulham Road, west London, is a temporary installation – which, given its quality, seems a shame. It celebrates Prostate Cancer UK’s Man of Men, representing the hundreds of thousands of fathers, brothers, sons, nephews and friends across the UK who are impacted by this killer disease.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men: every year, globally, some 375,000 men die from this pernicious disease, including more than 12,000 here in the UK.
Prostate cancer is most certainly treatable if it’s caught in time – so it’s crucial than men should check their risk. It takes just 30 seconds. Go here: www.prostatecanceruk.org/muralqr Oh, and let’s hear it for Global Street Art, which funded this magnificent mural.

Dedicated to the wonderful and professional staff at 'Affidea' oncology unit in Wałbrzych, Lower Silesia SW Poland.
Their care and attention made my treatment a pleasant experience rather than a trial. God bless you all.

This is a picture of Rosey just before we left Leeton for Griffith and also for the start of my prostate cancer treatment in Wagga Wagga, a city 126 klms away from Leeton. There are two linear generators, each worth about $3,000,000. The staff are amazing!! We did not know we would be leaving Leeton when I took this picture, I had not begun counselling yet so did not know about the caretaking position in Griffith, more on that later!!
Rosey in her usual smiley pose, I do love her smile, really lights up her face and mine too and I know from your very generous and loving comments you love to see her smiling happiness too!!! I believe this is English lavendar. I love how the petals come out each side of the "flower".
Rosey and I have now left Leeton and have taken up a caretaking position in Griffith with Barnabas House, a crisis counselling centre run by the Baptist Church - this is a permanent position for as long as we want to be here. There are 50 units, 2 conjoined, which makes around 35 buildings, plus the office block. There are 3 counsellors here, and one is the Baptist Minister here in Griffith in New South Wales, which is around 60 klms from where we used to live in Leeton. We loved our caretaking position in Leeton but it was time to move on. Rev Kev was my counsellor and he offered us the position which we accpeted.
My treatment is going well, thanks to all the prayers and support I have received from my dear Flickr friends. It is a very precise procedure these days, I lay on this bed, the staff move me to align with the cross beams, then they leave the room and final adjustments are done from outside the room. A CAT scan is done firstly to see that my bladder is full so as to minimise injury from the rays that are zapping the cancer cells. If my bladder is not very full, then I am asked to leave the room, drink more water and then return - this has not happened as my bladder has been to capacity.
We are staying in a beautiful lodge purpose-built for cancer patients and it is like a motel, a great home away from home, and all the people here are "walking the walk and talking the talk"!! All are in different stages of cancer and in various parts of their bodies. We are taken from the lodge in a mini-van driven by volunteer drivers and dropped at the front door of the clinic and returned again to our lodge. Rosey and I feel like we are on a new adventure and a holiday, such is the non-invasive form of treatment and we are already making new friends.
Thanks our dear Flickr friends for your love and support and being there when we need you all the most. Thanks also for your visits and comments and faves, we appreciate very much. We use the library in Wagga Wagga, we can have up to two hours per day for free, how special is that!!!
Wrote this poem shortly after being diagnosed with prostate cancer back 26 years ago. I am pleased to be here still, running, writing and savoring each day as a treasure.

He caught me
off guard
Waiting
in line
For nothing
in particular
Just hanging
out
With time
on my hands
“Your number?” he smiled
darkly
One sleeve extended
but empty
Shifting his weight
from shoulder
to shoulder
As I shook my head
backing up and away
“Number?,” I mumbled
At a loss
suddenly
for words
The orange plastic piece
burning hot in my hand
The cipher indistinct
but glowing
“Yours,” he nodded
approaching with certainty
His knowing
dark smile
mocking
“No way,”
I stammered
Stumbling and shrugging
Back
Back
Eluding his touch
his foul breath
those glowing eyes
Ducking
just in time
I hear
and miss
The sudden swish
of a blade
neck high
“I'm not done here.
Not going with you
at this time.
Not ready.
Not willing.
And just not that easy,
my hooded friend.”
He grumbles
mumbles
and shakes his head
Unaccustomed to such folly
He turns away
settles for the next
in line

I took this last August when dad was on radiation for his prostate cancer. I went to all his treatments with him. He often brought flowers to the staff picked from his front yard. Dad was upbeat during his bout with cancer and is now off all treatment and I'm happy to say in 2012 he's cancer free.
At 86, he's doing great....he wears hearing aids....but other than that, dad is fit as a fiddle and has no other health concerns.
Happy Father's Day to my dad and yours. !!!!
NHGRI researchers and their collaborators have identified a specific genomic signature of some aggressive prostate tumors, which may help pinpoint specific treatment options. Findings from the study were published April 15 online in The American Journal of Human Genetics. The new finding focuses on BRCA2 mutations, which are associated with breast and ovarian cancer, but also increase men's risk for prostate cancer. Both men and women can inherit a faulty BRCA2 gene from either their mother or father. When working properly, the BRCA2 gene helps stop cells from becoming cancerous by producing proteins that fix damage to DNA.

All men are at risk for prostate cancer, but most men diagnosed with it are older than 65. Additionally, as men get older, their risk for developing another disease, osteoporosis, increases. Osteoporosis is of particular concern for men with prostate cancer, because recent research has found a strong link between hormone deprivation therapy - which is one of the treatments for prostate cancer - and osteoporosis.

New findings on prostate cancer may enable doctors to make better diagnoses and prognoses for patients and provide novel directions for therapies, according to a new study from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Network. Most prostate cancers are detected early while still confined to the prostate, a walnut-sized gland located below the bladder. While most cases remain harmless - benign - for decades, other subtypes of prostate cancers can be aggressive, and spread to other parts of the body (metastasize), making them extremely difficult to treat. It is currently difficult for healthcare providers to distinguish which cancers will remain harmless and which will metastasize.

Passing Winchfield, freshly painted in Prostate Cancer UK charity livery & named 'League Managers Association', 66769 & 66725 'Sunderland' with the London Victoria to Eastleigh empties from today's trip around Kent....
Yet another 'celebrity' loco visits the area and one that I have not seen since its revised 'Prostate Cancer UK' livery was No 66769 'LMA (League Managers Association). Seen passing Rainhill Station on 4Z62 11.30hrs East Midlands Gateway to Seaforth CT 'liner'. Unfortunately the weather was not kind this particular week, so ended up as my only image of this loco. No 66769 also had another name (##) 'Paul Taylor, Our Inspiration' which I believe is named after GBRF Contract Manager who was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. 6th July 2022.
## Sadly Paul Taylor passed away on 9th August 2022, age 51, still young and missed by many people. R.I.P. ##
