So, the question is, at this time of year, what most concerns me about my health, and I guess the question would be, or rather the answer would be, I have to think quite carefully about my PSA levels. I mentioned on another video clip that my oncologist has prematurely or rather not prematurely but before its term has removed, has stopped my three monthly injections for the prostate cancer, and I'm a little anxious about that. I'm actually very happy with it because it's restored my stamina, steadily is improving my stamina, and I am a runner and do try and be very active, but at the same time I'm also, as I feel my strength returning, despite the fact that I had a very aggressive session of radiotherapy in October, November, December 2021. I'm obviously quite anxious this year to see what happens to the PSA test, which I'm due to have in July, which will be some six months after I stopped taking the implants. I'm told that it takes about a year for the whole implant thing effect to wear off, but I am thinking about and probably a little quietly anxious about this in terms of my health. Having had the aneurysm repaired, I'm not concerned about that. And I'm quietly confident that the medication taking is not allowing my coronary arteries to get any worse and you know compared to some they're reasonably healthy you know no more than 50% stenosis I think was the diagnosis but obviously the cancer is a worry and I'm hoping that once I've come off the implants for some time my stamina will return but my high PSA will not because of the treatment that I've had and so that's the thing that's going to concern me about my health this year.
