Richard, I think that one of the best techniques in this field is the "holmium laser prostate enucleation technique", widely used for international companies such as Richard Wolf©, Boston Scientific©, Jena Surgical©, Karl Storz© and Lumenis©. That's what I"ve been said by one friend who has been treated of prostate... Read more.

Richard Munson

Thank you fidel. I read about that as well. My problem potentially my be insurance not wanting to cover me due to my prostate cancer although they are not connected.

Fidel Martínez Ruiz

I understand what you mean Richard🤝🤝

I had Gleason 7 (4+3) and for me was no chance and I went straight on to surgery.

Richard Munson

Yes, big difference between 3+4 and 4+3. Unfortunately the insurance co. Holds the cards. I will be calling them monday to discuss exceptions to the rule.

Fidel, I hope you got to see the pope while in spain. Word on the street is he is a big beach boys fan. He sings barbara ann in the shower. Hard to imagine the pope taking a shower being a heartbeat away from the big guy.

Fidel Martínez Ruiz

Richard , I'm watching by TV, these events are huge crowd, I may have a heart attack, lol. I agree with the Christian values but don't like the spectacle which is carried out. Better spend money to help those most in need, in my oppinion.

By the way Richard, I think that Willie Nelson is still alive and singing isn't it?. I like very much the song Oky from Muskogee, I play with a friend of mine, me with electrified classical guitar and my friend with an accoustic one. A little bit worse than original... Read more.

Willie nelson on stage at 93. All those years of smoking dope have preserved him. They roll him out, move his lips and play a recording. I went to a 50 year reunion beach boys concert a few years back and they carried out brian wilson. It was a sad... Read more.

Many moons ago i took my grandson who was about 8 at the time to a beach boys concert. We sat in an audience of mostly oldsters. He must have done his homework because when they sang " little deuce coupe", he says in a loud voice, " grandpa, this... Read more.
