Hi all

Apologies up front for the not-on-topic message, but I thought I’d let you know 
that after having my hip replaced last year - which went extremely well, as it 
happens - I now* have prostate cancer. It’s nasty, advanced & metastatic. I 
will be starting chemotherapy next week.

*I almost certainly had it back then, too.

So, as a Public Service Announcement - if you are 45 or older, have a prostate, 
and you’ve never been checked out for it, please do so. My first blood result 
showed my PSA (prostate specific antigen) level to be around the same level as 
the International Space Station. Normal for me would have been below 3.5; mine 
was over 1200.

Because of the treatment, my attention to the list may be somewhat impaired for 
a while, so…

  * be nice to each other
  * don’t mention the DNSBL we don’t mention
  * speak to your doctor or friendly urology specialist

Cheers all!

Graeme
