Hi Barry,
The video was excellent post especially for people like us on the beginning of the journey. He mentioned young men and also older men which are healthy and this is my husband. Thank you for that excellent link!
As for Covid, I did not sleep for 2 nights now due to coughing. I had covid in March but this is different. Probably different variant. The funny thing is that my husband did not get it last time or now! There is a thought that people with blood type o evading Covid. I don't know how true this is but the proof is in the pudding.
I hope you get better soon.
Best wishes
Dafna
Hi dafna, sorry to read you have COVID. We caught it whilst on a ship returning from USA and Canada sept 22 and was confined to our cabin for the last 5 days of the cruise. Hope you feel better soon.my hubbie wasn't offered radiotherapy and the urologist and then the oncologist both said to go straight for the triple therapy as this would mean that the cancer can be treated for many years. He gave us two weeks to consider but for us it was a no brainer. Luckily hubby had hardly any side effects from the chemo and felt no different to how he normally feels which he says is 100%
