So November is National Prostate Cancer month and I like to do some pretty crazy stuff here on Flickr but even I have my limits. So in lieu of desecrating Flickr with prostate references, I will just go with balls. November 18th thru the 21st, my super-hero friend Jenny Shackle (in-world) is looking for Gachas for her "Bash for the Bros" event raising awareness for men's cancer. Any donations would be incredible and appreciated. Also, should you have any interest in learning about Relay for Life here in SL, we invite you to drop in and learn more about all we accomplish in this crazy cartoon world. With just 70+ days until our '22 Season kick-0ff, we have a home for you to make a HUGE difference in lives of many. Thanks for stopping by and take care of them balls guys!

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' (with its Man of Men logo) ascends the incline towards Taylors Bridge at Rylstone with 6D37, the 12.20 Rylstone Tilcon - Hunslet loaded stone on Fri 8th October 2021.
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.
Patrick

1966 Corvette...
On Sunday I attended the the 14th Annual Cruisin' for A Cure Canada;
Something I have been a huge supporter of in the past. The Car Show That Saves Men's Lives, which is held annually at the Powerade center in Brampton.
This is a shot of a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette. It has been completely restored to factory and has 90% OEM original parts with a market value of 100K it is a little out of my price range, but it sure was fun to look at.
Please tell your husbands, fathers, uncles, grandfather brothers and any man you care about to get a PSA test it changes the odds from 5 % survivability to 93%.
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind lung cancer. About 1 man in 41 will die of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer can be a fatal disease, but due to early detection most men diagnosed with prostate cancer will not die from it.
74% of prostate cancers are diagnosed early at Stage I and II. The probability of surviving prostate cancer at least five years after diagnosis is about 93% in Canada.
For more information check out the website for the car show.

Prostate Cancer UK liveried 66769 'Paul Taylor Our Inspiration' passes Thurston in charge of the 4E20 13.21 Felixstowe South Gbrf - Masborough N&W Gbrf on the 28 March 2022.
During November I am trying to raise as much as I can for Prostate Cancer UK to help with their research funding. I am going to walk 60 miles on Dartmoor and try to visit as many Tors as I can. Obviously I'm taking a camera along. This is Littaford Tor in the late afternoon sun. So far I've raised just shy of £500 if you can help here's my just giving page www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jons-60-mile-tor-bagging-5....
Many thanks.
'SUPPORTING PROSTATE CANCER CHARITY' - 'STEAMPUNKS AT PAPPLEWICK PUMPING STATION' - 14th - 15th JULY 2018
Organised by the Branch Line Society and GWR in aid of the First Devon and Exeter Prostate Cancer Fund the newly liveried GWR HST travelled from London Paddington to Buckfastleigh where it then ran a special tour to Heathfield and back before finally visiting one last time and then heading home to Paddington. Shot at various locations throughout.

The Mo, slang for moustache, and November come together each year for Movember.
Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days.
The idea for Movember was sparked in 2003 over a few beers in Melbourne, Australia. The plan was simple – to bring the moustache back as a bit of a joke and do something for men’s health. No money was raised in 2003, but the guys behind the Mo realized the potential a moustache had in generating conversations about men’s health. Inspired by the women around them and all they had done for breast cancer, the Mo Bros set themselves on a course to create a global men’s health movement.
The funds raised through Movember’s UK campaign benefit the The Prostate Cancer Charity (TPCC), the UK’s leading prostate cancer charity.
The money raised as a result of Movember is channelled by our men’s health partner into a number of world class and innovative education, support, research and awareness initiatives.
The success of Movember can be directly attributed to the more than 627,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas who have supported our cause since 2003. Movember is sincerely grateful for their efforts and appreciate all they do.
For those of you new to Movember, we challenge you to join us in changing the face of men's health.

My fake Mo is not just a concept, it's an attitude.

Today (Tuesday) I go to the hospital for my Bone Scan at 10:15am, they will inject a radioactive substance into my blood. I then leave and return four hours later to have the whole bone scan that takes about 45 minutes to do. I am having it to find bone cancer or determine whether a cancer from another area, such as the breast, lung, kidney, thyroid gland, or prostate gland, has spread (metastasized) to the bone. Your thoughts and wishes are very much appreciated.
It takes 2 weeks to get the results of the test, more time to wonder.....
BONE SCAN
A bone scan is a nuclear scanning test that identifies new areas of bone growth or breakdown. It can be done to evaluate damage to the bones, find cancer that has spread (metastasized) to the bones, and monitor conditions that can affect the bones (including infection and trauma). A bone scan can often find a problem days to months earlier than a regular X-ray test.
For a bone scan, a radioactive tracer substance is injected into a vein in the arm. The tracer then travels through the bloodstream and into the bones. This process may take several hours. A special camera (gamma) takes pictures of the tracer in the bones. This helps show cell activity and function in the bones. Areas that absorb little or no amount of tracer appear as dark or "cold" spots, which may indicate a lack of blood supply to the bone (bone infarction) or the presence of certain types of cancer. Areas of rapid bone growth or repair absorb increased amounts of the tracer and show up as bright or "hot" spots in the pictures. Hot spots may indicate problems such as arthritis, the presence of a tumour, a fracture, or an infection.
Prostate Cancer UK Black liveried GBRf 66769 "League Managers Association / LMA Paul Taylor Our Inspiration" powers through St Helens Junction today with 6K22 Penmaenmawr - Tuebrook loaded stone.
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.
I am enjoying watching the Denver Broncos in a pub just a block from my new apartment — Bar Nun. barnundenver.com/home
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. !!!!
Prostate Cancer UK livery 66769 " Paul Taylor . Our Inspiration " passes Clay Cross working 6M01 Tinsley - Bardon Hill . 7/2/22
Prostate Cancer black livery 66769 'League Managers Association' / 'Paul Taylor Our Inspiration' gets away from Fairwood Jcn with a 6G72 13.00 Fairwood Jcn-Westbury having delivered new sleepers to a track renewal worksite at Witham Friary on 21/09/25.
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.
