    BPH (enlarged prostate) Diagnosis

    Back in 2021 I had my first MRI after 10 years of Active Surveillance for PC. My report was PI-RADS 5, had a MRI-Ultrasound Prostate Fusion Biopsy. Results weren't scary at all and stayed on AS Now it appears that my HoLEP may have zapped the PC that the biopsy caught.

    How often do strangers ask you for money?

    Not money but the Walmart I shop at 1/4 mile from Mexico is like a little sidewalk market. Tamales, burritos, puppies you name it. But always a soft sell, I smile and keep walking.

    Greece trip

    Just booked a Lindblad cruise to the Greek Cyclades (islands) for Sept of 2025. Got the last of the cheap seat cabins. The cruise looks almost sold out 18 months before we sail, yikes.

    Canceling old supplement when getting new?

    What works for me is just ordering meds and let the pharmacy/supplement folks contact my doctor to approve. Since you didn't pay your statement, I would assume that you aren't on the plan anymore.
