I think Patrolman set up this blank post for Dave to start a topic, I hope that Dave can work out how to start a new thread of his own.

As you know, I have been on the morphine for a few weeks, and I have not been posting very much, however over the last few days, at my choice, I have weened myself of it so I am a bit more with it... I am on different pain killers, milder and less often, but I have my first meeting with the oncologist on Monday, following my recent CT scan, to see how far the cancer has spread.
Not looking forward to that.

It's only fair to mention to those who are unaware, but I have recently been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, which has spread to lower organs and lymph glands and possibly the bones, the CT scan will show where else the cancer has spread to.
I have had hormone treatment which is supposed to shrink the cancer, and slow the progress.

Only 9 months ago I was tested for PSA, the levels were low, even though my prostate was checked and shown as enlarged... so all this has happened very quickly. I couldn't have done more...

So guys, if you are getting up a lot at night, and have urgency, and sometimes dribble, or can't start easily... Get your self checked out...
It is not a condition that you must accept as you get older.
Prostates do enlarge, most are benign, some are slow cancerous ones, and the GPs tend to just monitor the condition... So be persistant... I thought I was...

Enough of the doctor avoiding, stiff upper lip, macho bullcrap! Get yourselves to the doctor, ask them to do their stuff.
Big respect to Rustic and others for having the courage to talk openly.

Young men rarely talk about it, men in their 50's just accept it, the prostate does enlarge over time, most are benign, some are cancerous and are just monitored over years to see how the cancer is progressing. A wait and see strategy by the doctor...

What is expected with the slow growing cancerous growths, that most people will die of something else before the slow growing cancer becomes a serious problem, and then needs treatment.

Then there are those aggressive ones, that take over the prostate and surrounding tissue... even though PSA levels were considered normal.

I wanted to pass on the message to like minded people, that looking after your Terrano is one thing, but turning your back on your own health can be fatal...
I have always spread the safety word when working on our vehicles, jacks, axle stands etc, and I'm sure more people are thinking about this and taking precautions, so do the same with your own health.

During my career, I have always made a difference...
In retirement, I still intend to make a difference too.

Hi Patrolman,

Many thanks for your help, but I just cannot fathom this site out (I'm not too bright and age is against me), but I've just bought a 1995 2.7 diesel Maverick with 60,000 miles on the clock, and was wondering if the Maverick is normally a sloppy ride - mine is excessively so.
I'm based in Norfolk and any hints on local suppliers of used parts would be useful to me and I'd appreciate any tips on dealing with underbody rust.
I find the MPG (36mpg) is better than my last car (Peugeot 406), the engine is might pokey, but at 24mph per 1000 revs, it feels undergeared.
Any information on how to keep my Maverick on the road will be gratefully recieved.
I'm assuming that I've posted this in the correct place and that it will appear on the forum - Thank you Patrolman.

David G Rand · 13-09-2015, 15:49

I hope I've posted this in correct place.

A few minutes ago I posted a message of thanks to Patrolman, along with a few comments about my Maverick and clicked the "submit" button, but I cannot find it anywhere on this site!

I've a feeling that this site was designed by a drunken MENSA member in a fit of anger.

I'm about to post this message and if it doesn't appear on this Forum I shall be disappointed but not surprised.

Once again; many thanks for your efforts, Patrolman.

Looks as if it's been posted to me, as does your last post as I've been able to quote it.

This makes me think that there is a problem at your end.
