In general I feel fine apart from a little shortness of breath when running up the stairs, but Hey, - at 66 what do you expect anyway? I don't know about fighting it, but I am certainly living a very full and active life. I wondered about parading all this in public but decided the more awareness about the disease the better. Don't let anybody be shy about visiting your GP and letting him have a different feel.  It could save your life! |
I totally agree Redraine, never be frightened of going to your doctor, even if it turns out to be nothing serious, its better to be safe than sorry. Its a known fact that men are notoriously afraid of visiting the doctor with "men's problems" don't be, it could save your life
