Hello Everyone
Thank you for all the support you have given to our Community over the past 12 months. So we can keep the forum free for help and advice can we please try and use this thread for Christmas and New Year greetings and the "No Specific Topic" thread for general chit-chat.
On the matter of advice we give to Community members can we please not add either AI or Chat GPT generated advice to threads as we can't confirm these answers come from "trusted sources". Thanks.
On a personal note - that's me done with Hormone Therapy - 3 years completed so I assume I am technically "cancer free". I am on 6 monthly PSA tests for the next 5 years so I will be keeping an eye on things.
So Lorraine (Mrs Millibob) and I would like to wish everyone and their families on the Community a very Happy Christmas and our best wishes for 2025. We hope you all have a well deserved break and have a great holiday with family and friends.
During the Christmas and New year break there will be a normal service from me, however the Support Line will be on reduced hours.
Thanks again for your understanding and continued support.
Brian - Online Community Champion.
Good Morning (Alpine Wanderer & Majestic )
Thank you both for your posts. I wish you and your family a cracking Christmas and may 2025 bring all you wish for.
Kind Regards - Brian

Hello AFLMF
Yes, you and your family have a "sane" Christmas and fantastic new year.
..you have saved me from insanity.
That's probably the 2nd or 3rd best quote of the year. (I don't think the best quote is suitable for this thread!!).
Kind Regards - Brian.

Ok then - with apologies to the Community member who posted this earlier in the year (I can't remember who it was) I did tell him at the time it was my quote of the year:
He posted asking fro help after prostate removal surgery and said
* I do need some help as at the moment I am marinating in my own urine"
I do hope his issues have now been resolved and I wish him all the best for Christmas and the New year.
Best wishes - Brian.
