I was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer in the summer of 2021. I was 77 then, and just accepted it, as I had nothing in the way of symptoms. They found it as a result of a routine blood test. I am on Prostap every three months, and although these cause some muscular aches and pains, they do reduce a week or so after the injections. nothing too severe. So I am able to carry n with my hobby of building model ships. Not from kits, but from anything that come to hand. Wood, plastic, brass, copper etc. This is the first one I built after diagnosis, my aim being not to fight the cancer, but let nature take its course. Consequently, I am not suffering either mentally or physically. The consultant says it is a good attitude, and tells me that my PSA had gone down from 257 to 1.5.

Thanks Jane - It took 88 1/2 hours, timed on a stopwatch. When I stopped work, I stopped the watch. The work was spread over two or three months.
This is one of my steamship models - British India liner Kenya - Best wishes - Robert
Thank you - I draw them as well. This is a drawing I made of the passenger liner RMS Transvaal Castle. I was a junior officer in her 58 years ago - Robert
