Thanks, the more I have found out about Prostate Cancer the more evangelical I have become. The advances in medical science have done me proud and the speed and accuracy of diagnosis, testing and referral by the NHS has been most impressive, particularly with all the problems of Covid. So it’s a 5.30 start tomorrow for a 7.00 arrival at Southend Hospital, if you listen carefully you can hear the sharpening of the knives.

Don’t Know If It Helps 
But a Mentor of Mine Coped With Her Catheter By Giving It a Name
She Called it ‘Claude’
Then When Removed…Her Daughter-in-Law Wrote a Poem ‘Ode To The Death of Claude’
In Similar Vein I Called my Fibroids ‘Tom, Richard & Harriet’
And My False Teeth are Harold & Hastings [Mark 1 - IV and Mark 1 - 11]
My Bridge is Called Bridget [When Your Teeth Start Falling Out as a ‘Youngster’ Humour Can Fail]
But…I Count My Blessing that I’m Not a Chap Recovering From Your Op !!
