Hi Jon, I am really enjoying your podcast and I love the way you put it across and handle it with humour. I had my Prostatectomy 5 years ago then earlier this year they found a lymph node hanging about where my Prostate use to be so being proactive I went through 35 radiotherapy sessions, that was ok, except for the 35 enames prior to the therapy. At least I got free parking whilst this went on.
