    From initial diagnosis till op took 2 years , and from the tests biopsi, scan ,blood and further psa and the finger in the Bxm it was a no brainer for me ,it was very high ratio and could have spread ,then your on a no win scenario, i want to live longer and not be dying of cancer that may have spread , my uncle died with cancer that spread from his prostate ,he was a shadow of aman when he died it had spread everywhere seek a second opinion as i did but for me it was the right descision

    with my prostate cancer i had no symptons, pee normally,etc etc none at all it was only my age that prompted the blood test that gave the high psa reading ,and well the rest is history, get the test done early(not 70 like me) start in your 50s and get a psa blood test done every year, i have 2 brother in laws who have turned 70 ,both take so long to pee but are in denial,i keep saying to go get tested

    My prostate cancer was diagnosed and i had 12 months of testing ,final testing was biopsy and i was in the high to dangerous zone so i had the robot surgery with one of the best surgeons in Brisbane , i have come out the other end quite well,no lingering problems, i do pee slightly more than before and (about every 3 hrs) and i do have to use the little blue pills when i get the twinkle in the eye LOL

    when i started my trade in 1963 first welding taught was gas welding , mig was,nt around yet,stick , sub arc fuse, so oxy/acet was used widely, i not seen it used in 30 years ,some brazing and silver soldering, to use oxy on airframes now is very old school, tig is widely used and some mig, i weld my chrome ally parts with ss arc rods, easy and very strong, some post heat used , look at most lsa aircraft from o/s and they tig most components very fine welding (my eyes not good enough for fine work) and very thin walled, rivets are a quick and easy way to assemble airframes thats the way i am useing on my airframe ,only welding is in noseweheel components,undercarraige and safety cage, for the homebuilt guys who dont weld rivets are the way to go

    started with labor in the seventies, liberals are just as bad , we have lost our manufacturing capabilities, greens would take us back even further, why can,t we find a pollie with a future view , answer they only look after themselves ,they retire with much more than us plebites and make the taxation harder for us oldies , i for one will try to stay ahead if i can until i can no longer afford or cannot stand up to it ,i will sell the house use the money till i go off this earth in a (cardboard box) dont spend any money on my death i wont care
