Once again many thanks all for the links and information. We are learning more and more about this disease as the days go by. We are greatly encouraged by the survival rates for younger men (John is in his early 60's, plus is very fit and otherwise healthy). We have also learned that they have caught the cancer very early. Unlike the blokes described (very accurately!) by Joan, he did trott straight off to the doctor at the first sign of trouble, a lesson all us fellas would do well to learn.
