I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer two weeks ago. When through all the tests last week to see if it had spread into other areas. Tests came back saying it was still only in my prostrate, but it is an agressive type. Talked to the doctor last Monday and decided on a plan of attack. Surgery was ruled out since I have a history of mild strokes from blood clots, and they don't want to risk taking me off my blood thinners. Only did half the biopsies, that they wanted, do to this issue. Going to get a shot to reduce tetesteron levels Thursday, I am going to start radiation treatments the end of March. 5 days a week for 4 months. Will have to have the shots evert 4 months for the next 4 years. We talked about implanting "seeds", but I have an uncle that had that, and they left a lot of scar tissue and he has little control of his urinary track now. My doctor didn't think that I would need the "seeds" due to the size of my prostate. We are in the process of changing hospitals, due to drive time to get the treatments. The local hospital (BASSETT Health Care), is a teaching institution, and I hate going there and dealing with all the BS involved with trainees every time We go there, but it is 15min. apposed to 1.5hr drive one way. Have apointments with the new doctor and my current one this comming week, to get everything scheduled. I was really enjoying retirement and not having to be on any schedule, but most of the summer I will have to be at the hospital at the same time every day. That sucks, like having to be at work every morning,LOL. Loren, the Acg.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
