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. .

66769 League Managers Association / Paul Taylor Our Inspiration passes Three Horse Shoes (between March and Whittlesea), working 4M23 10.46 Felixstowe North - Birch Coppice. [Pole, 5/6 sections (~6.8m)]
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.

Wanted to share some good news, since I had shared earlier that I had Prostate cancer. I still do, but I met with a cancer team at the University of North Carolina's Lineberger Cancer center yesterday, and got news that is making me feel fantastic. ( They are my third opinion and the team there is fantastic!)
They read my biopsy results slightly differently from the first pathologist and gave me a gleason score of 6 (3+3) vs 7 (4+3) That makes a huge difference in treatment options because gleason score 6 is considered non-agressive and slow growing and non-metastic. They think that result fits better and is more likely true given my PSA scores and the MRI results.
What it means to me, is that I don't have to have it treated now at all. I go on "active surveillance" which means that in December I go back for a new PSA test, a more targeted Biopsy and another MRI. If things are good i keep doing nothing but living my normal life and I will repeat that every 6 months from now on.
I could be just kicking the treatment can down the road or I may never have a problem! The tests are not nothing...but I'll take them any day over the treatments and potential nasty side effects. Thanks to those of you who have commented with your support or have reached out to me in private messages! I love my Flickr friends and "family."

Tomorrow is my 76th birthday! It’s hard to believe so many years have passed. Diagnosed with prostate cancer when 50, I sure am happy to have lasted so long.
Celebrated this morning with a 5 km run through Cheesman Park and will have dinner tonight with my daughter Sarah and her husband Nico and my grandson Milo.

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

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!!!

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.

Cancer 1
Outside in the car park
The sky grey, spitting, stark.
Time it passes so slow:
20 minutes to go.
The traffic heavy on the main road,
The clouds darken, dropping their load.
Rain splatters the windscreen:
15 minutes to go.
What will she say to me?
Not too long now: wait and see.
Good? Bad? Definitive?
Absolute? Provisional? Tentative?
8 minutes to go.
I'm ready to hear my fate:
The state of my prostate.
5 minutes to go.
I face the wind and rain.
There will be no surpise or pain.
There's a history of cancer in my kin,
And a history of cancer within.
3 minutes to go.
It will not be a hammer blow.
1 minute to go:
Time no longer passes so slow.
Cancer 3
Main waiting area and
The appointment time nears.
Is this where it happens?
The confirmation of my fears?
Name called: mispronounced,
Weight taken, slightly shaking.
I’m now in waiting room C
And succumb to wanting to pee,
But I’ll hold it in and wait and see.
The nurses chattering and talking,
The corridors echo to the sound of walking,
Is there a cancer beavering away
As dark and quiet as a funeral day?
But whatever the outcome I will fight
And laugh and love and dance;
Embrace the dark and turn
That corrosive darkness into light.
Cancer 4
So now I know.
But the light still glows,
And it will burn brighter
As I determine to fight her.
Cancer 1 was written in October 2010 as I waited to hear my PSA score. It was too high. 6.9. So I was referred to a specialist. A biopsy of my prostate was suggested. Cancer 3 was written as I waited to see the consultant and hear the results of the biopsy. Cancer 4 was written as I sat in my car following hearing the results of the biopsy: that I had prostate cancer. A Gleason score of 6 and T1 tumour. 5% of the sample was "abnormal". That was in late December 2010. An early unwanted Christmas present. The picture itself was taken a few months later, as I waited to see my surgeon, when my PSA almost doubled to 11.5. it is back down to 6.9 almost year on from my intial PSA. I'm following a regime of active surveillance. Following the 11.5 PSA I was "re-staged" and opted for a transperineal biopsy. That will happen late September 2011. My aim is to go through 2011 without radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy. Almost there.
24/10/11 Perhaps I wrote too soon. My biopsy results show that my cancer is more severe than the initial biopsy results suggested. My Gleason score is now 7, with a third of the biopsy samples showing abnormal cells. Currative treatment is now needed. Which form that takes I find out on Thursday.
19/11/11 I'm now having treatment for my prostate cancer. Hormone therapy, which will last for at least 6 months, and during the second half of that treatment, I will receive radiotherapy 5 days a week.
10/12/11
The hormone therapy is kicking in:
leaving me shrivelled, drying my skin.
I'm wasted, but don't drop me in the bin.
A drug induced male menopause,
with sexless thoughts I have to change the laws
and fight my corner and my cause.
A beautiful phrase, a kind word or a sad song
and tears flow down, hard and long,
but my love keeps me positive, happy, strong.
Things aren't going smooth, unfortunately,
I need a TURP before radiotherapy
To help my flow, to ease my pee
I can't say what the consequences will be
I'm going to have to just wait and see
hoping that we can smile when I am free
as we look back drinking our green tea.
The TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) is scheduled for 20th December 2011.
